This is a divergence between Debian and Redhat-based distributions that has been here for long. Redhat reads the profile for X sessions, while Debian doesn't. This is related to Redhat positioning lots of required environment variables in the profile, while the Debian policy explicitly forbids requiring environment variables for a binary to work. -- .''`.
