I understand you open a terminal on an X11 screen.
I am not absolutely sure but I think that by default the terminal is not
regarded as a login session therefore the shell does not start the
profile script. You can monitor this by ps -f. Login shells have hyphen
prefixing the shell command name. Observe the ps output below. Notice
PID 4416 is a login shell where PID 4451 is just another invocation of bash:
[harel_at_somewhere harel]$ ps -f
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
harel 4416 4415 0 14:23 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash
harel 4451 4416 0 14:23 pts/1 00:00:00 bash
harel 4479 4451 0 14:24 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -f
In order to convince bash that it should behave as a login shell use the
-l option. See man bash especially the "INVOCATION" paragraph.
In order to simplify things I set the menu item that starts a terminal
with this option set. In my case, I use KDE and therefore I start
konsole with the option --ls.
See konsole --help.
