Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

The bash started by gnome-terminal (invoked from the Gnome menu) didn't
know it was supposed to be an interactive shell. This means that a
user's .bash_profile is not sourced.

So I edited the gnome-terminal applet to add the option --command="bash
--login", which made .bash_profile start to work.
