@mpapis: one question: So when bash sees ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login, it doesn't source .profile anymore? But when they don't exist, it sources ~/.profile?

quoting man bash:

   When  bash  is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the
   file /etc/profile, if that file exists.  After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that  order,  and  reads
   and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.  The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behav-
   ior.
