When KDE gets started this way there is no proper login shell. There is a shell script that should source .bash_profile, but because it's running under sh, it doesn't understand the bash specific stuff. I did once experiment with a .bash_specific file that got sourced either in bash_profile, or .bashrc according to whether a BASH_ONCE variable had been exported. I think it worked, but I dont have it anymore.
