I tried both suggestions:
1) Copying the contents of ~/.profile into ~/.bash_profile. No effect.
2) Removing ~/.bash_profile and /etc/skel/.bash_profile. Still no
effect.
 

Hmm. Two more ideas:
- Are you sure you are actually using bash as your shell (check in 
/etc/passwd) ?
- How exactly do you try to logout and login again (e.g. a `su userī 
will not parse .profile, while a `su - userī will).

Note on the /etc/skel/.bash_profile: Removing it will not have any 
effect, it will just avoid .bash_profile being created in new users' 
home directories if you create them.
