startxwin started bash does not read .bashrc or .bash_profile

[K Stahl]

I normally start a terminal in my .xinitrc file (Place it in your home
directory):

Example:

#!/usr/bin/sh
urxvt -e bash -l & wmpid=$!
wait ${wmpid}

Using this scheme, I haven't had the issues the original poster has described.
