That doesn't answer my question. If you login from a text console, and
~/bin appears in your path, then we would know that bash is sourcing
~/.profile correctly. This would tell us that whatever problem you're
having, it has to do with how the GUI is sourcing ~/.profile, and not
anything with ~/.profile itself. Andri's reply seems to in fact
indicate that ~/.profile is sourced by xorg when logging in from the
GUI, whereas it gets sourced by bash when you login from a text
console. So, my question still stands.
