I think the problem is that you are setting the values in .bashrc. X11
inherits your *login* shell environment. This is set by .profile (not
.bashrc). The way I work around this is to add the following to my .profile
which causes my .bashrc to be included as well:
if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
[ -r ${HOME}/.bashrc ] && . ${HOME}/.bashrc
