I think it used to be the case that if you used kdm to login,
then .bash_profile would not get sourced by bash (because it's not a login
shell). However it appears that the Xsession script
in /usr/local/share/config/kdm now sources .bash_profile explicitly if bash
is your shell.
My problem is that when .bash_profile is sourced this way, I only pick-up
environmental variables, and any aliases or bash functions don't work. They
work as expected when I login via a virtual-terminal, so I don't think it is
my script.
For those who don't have kdm, this is the Xsession file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
# Xsession - run as user
session=$1
# Note that the respective logout scripts are not sourced.
case $SHELL in
*/bash)
[ -z "$BASH" ] && exec $SHELL $0 "$@"
set +o posix
[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
if [ -f $HOME/.bash_profile ]; then
. $HOME/.bash_profile
elif [ -f $HOME/.bash_login ]; then
. $HOME/.bash_login
elif [ -f $HOME/.profile ]; then
. $HOME/.profile
fi
