You can always use the -ls option to xterms to force them spawn "login"
shells, instead of the usual interactive shells they yield.

For instance, my ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu, the usual place for
my window-manager's menu, I use:

	MENU "Applications"
		"XTerm" EXEC xterm -ls
		...
	END "Applications"

Oh, and another thing.  You can always put the aliases in .bashrc, where
they will be seen by all interactive invocations of Bash.  If they are
put into .bash_profile, they're only valid for login shells :>
