X under Debian does not source /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile. I don't know why exactly but the correct fix is to change the file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start to read: exec -l $SHELL -c "$STARTUP" That way the initial environment is delegated to the user's default shell which in the case of bash will result in /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile being sourced.
