I made a try. As regards a syntax error, it currently results in an interrupted login, while other types of errors are silently ignored.
With my new merge proposal, a zenity/kdialog dialog is shown for all types of errors in ~/.profile and friends, and the login is completed (with a deficient configuration). They are also printed to ~/.xsession- errors.
