Well, .bashrc is loaded for non-login shells, and .bash_profile is
loaded for login shells. Usually in .bash_profile you source .bashrc
and all the configuration is done in the last one. But, if you want
that bash read the first file, you have to run it in the following
way:
     bash --login
And it will read .bash_profile.

Er, how do you start X ?

If you use gdm/kdm/xdm or something like this, edit your ~/.xsession
If you are using startx, edit your ~/.xinitrc
