When I've run into this situation, it has been because of the way that
my window manager was set up to call new terminals. In text mode, every
new login accessed ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile as expected, but xterms
(or their various replacements) don't always do that. Sometimes a
restart of my desktop session was necessary in order to get .bashrc
changes to be seen automatically.
To fix this, I think that the solution is probably to make sure that
your xterms call bash as a login shell. (Not sure exactly because the
problem just went away for me sometime around RedHat 6.2 or so; YMMV).
Which window manager are you using? Which distribution? How do you
call new shells?
