Neither xterm nor rxvt reads /etc/profile.
The difference is between login-shell and non-login-shell
If you log in at console bash starts as login-shell and reads
~/.bash_profile and /etc/profile.
xterm and rxvt call bash as non-login-shell. bash reads ~/.bashrc
you can either 'tell' xterm and rxvt to start bash as login-shell:
(you have to edit your window-manager-menu)
or you just copy everything in /etc/profile to your ~/.bashrc
