Sorry, when I wrote my first response, I didn't think it all through, either. On my installation I have added the following lines to my /etc/X11/Xsession file, so that it sources my .profile, too: if [ -f /etc/profile ] then source /etc/profile ; fi if [ -f $HOME/.profile ] then source $HOME/.profile ; fi Doing this should ensure your .profile doesn't only affect your bash-sessions.
