Sorry for the delay ...

Thanks for the response but I am not sure I get it.

If what you are saying is true - then this piece of code ... 

if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
    PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi

should actually be in my ~/.bashrc - not in my ~/.bash_profile.

If this is the case - then it is an ubuntu bug because the above code is
in the default .bash_profile that is standard when I installed Hoary
preview.

It would be great if other people could check and prove me wrong and let
me know that their .bash_profile is different.

So the way I see it is - there is currently some code in .bash_profile
that is there for a good reason (ie. users own 'bin' dir) - but the code
is useless because it is in the wrong file.

right or wrong?
