Are you logging in via a GUI or text mode? In a GUI, the .profile is
not always executed; it is executed in terminals that are launched with
the command "xterm -ls" or the resource "loginShell: true". You might
need to put ". .profile" in your .xinitrc or .xsession or other startup
script depending on the GUI.
