I edit ~/.xsessionrc to have a single line:

        . /home/tixy/.profile
        
Which makes X sessions include the same profile as standard login
shells.

And my .profile has (or I added?)

        # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
        if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
            PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
        fi
