Is your `BASH profile' in .profile or .bash_profile (or whatever it is)? This problem happens when I login in as root also and start X. The root shell is sh. Before X in started (using startx) all shell variables are set, after X is started the individual xterms have no shell variables set. When logging in as myself BASH profile is in both .profile and .bash_profile. Daniel C.
