$HOME/.bash_profile is not sourced when starting with KDM

If you installed from source on Linux, you probably have this problem.

Your "$HOME/.bash_profile" script is not sourced (executed) when you start 
KDE with KDM.

The reason for this is that the Xsession file does not source it.  It 
contains the line:

	$HOME/.profile

This needs to be changed to:

	$HOME/.bash_profile

There is a bug on this which was closed as invalid.

I have reopened it:

Note: this only applies if you built from source.
