Neither nor. Bash works as documented, sourcing /etc/profile etc only
when it is invoked as a login shell.

Why? Opening an xterm for interacting directly with a shell is IMHO
functionally the same as opening an VC. And I am really pissed off if
I don't get a login shell and the profiles aren't sourced. It's different
of course if you open the xterm to run a program which is not a shell.
