Isn't one problem that when one starts the X server using startx,
applications (e.g., xterm) are not started with the same environment

Okay, people pointed out to me that .bash_profile isn't *supposed* to
execute in an xterm unless a special flag is used. Fine.
On further investigation, .bashrc *is* executing. And I get this
output:
$ echo $PATH
(/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/u
Actually, ~/.bashrc is used only for interactive, non-login shells. If
the xterm is invoked with the "-ls" option, it won't be used (unless
it's explicitly sourced within ~/.bash_profile, of course).
