/etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile are not being read

[janne]

A constant source of frustration is that neither /etc/profile, nor
~/.bash_profile are being read, and thus I can't use these for adding
stuff to my PATH, or other things.

Anybody has a solution to this? Is this a real bug, or is there some
other, prefferred way to do stuff like that?

And in any case, should'nt these files be honoured in any case, seeing
as how they are standard on other systems?
