~/.bash_profile is executed after /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc, so if the user overrides PS1, it will erase any changes you've made.
Otherwise, /etc/profile should be loaded for every *login* shell, which means terminal emulators will not always load the profile at launch (it may be read once at login to the GUI, and all instances of terminal emulators are subshells of this login).
