I just was looking into the same thing last night. The ksh shell in the
xterm didn't seem to be processing my .profile. Adding the '-ls'
argument to the xterm command resolved that.
-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).
