xdm is not a login shell - did you tell rxvt it was a login shell?
Okay, I used xdm to login, I then start a rxvt session I believe it
uses what ever is defined in /etc/passwd as my shell program, again
bash.
I know that xterm, which I use instead of rxvt, has an option (-ls)
for it (xterm) to tell the shell it runs that it (the shell) should
run as a login shell. I was asking 1) if rxvt has such an option, and
2) whether you used it. The answers to these questions will determine
whether bash reads your /etc/profile or not.
