Edit four files:  /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc

In each file, add as the second line:

echo <the filename>

Then when xterm comes up, see what is being run.  It should be:

~/.bashrc
/etc/bashrc

Note: I do this to ensure the files are being run and the sequence of 
the files.

What happens if you do 'type source'?  The result should be:

source is a shell builtin
