My solution right now is to have:

This was the purpose of adding ~/.profile in addition to ~/.bash_profile
in the bash shell startup files. We hit the same thing with GDM. Can you
change it to a login shell (#!/bin/sh -l) and give it a shot without
explicitly sourcing the individual files?
Good call DJ. I changed the first line to '#!/bin/bash --login' and it
called both /etc/profile and $HOME/.bash_profile.
I suppose we could keep /bin/sh, but I prefer to not worry about the
differences between bash and sh. For the relatively simple things in
the startup that a symlink from .profile to .bash_profile would work but
that might cause problems if using zsh or tcsh in other places for those
who want to use those shells.
Whatever we decide for the book, I'll go ahead and explain it on the
lightdm page.
