.bash_profile in xfce4

[Olivier Fourdan]

Anibal,

man xterm:

−ls     This  option  indicates  that  the shell that is started in the
        xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the  first  character
        of  argv[0]  will  be  a  dash, indicating to the shell that it
        should read the user’s .login or .profile).
 
So "xterm -ls" will do what you want.

Cheers,
Olivier.
