.bash_profile never read in X



[This message has also been posted.]
I have a system that was installed from a Debian 2.0 CD-ROM, with
many packages upgraded to 2.1 or unstable via the web site.

One thing that has bugged me ever since I switched to gdm:  my
.bashrc and .bash_profile files are never read.  Now, I realize that
I'm actually using xterm, but I always assumed xterm was some sort of
graphical shell for bash, especially since xterms show up in top or
ps as "bash".

So:  how can I make my xterms read my bash resource files?
