Does xterm -ls or konsole --ls fix the problem? If so, your
xterm/konsole isn't set up as a login shell. The simplest way to fix
this is to create a ~/.bashrc that looks like so:
. ~/.bash_profile
Or alternatively, symlinking .bashrc to .bash_profile might work. This
will make login shells and non-login shells behave exactly the same.
You can also screw around with xrdb in order to convince xterm to run as
a login shell by default; and I'd imagine that there's a similar option
buried inside konsole's preferences too.
