There is no question that .profile is sourced when I log in. It is
sourced. It is only not sourced when I invoke aterm from within
.xnitrc:
aterm -ls -e screen &

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a
non-inter-
active shell with the --login option, it first reads and
executes com-
mands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After
reading
that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and
~/.profile,
in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first
one that
exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used
when the
shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
