I'm running Lenny. I've inserted the lines to .bashrc as you sad but it only worked to the terminal it had no effect in gnome (eg: using Alt+F2)
I inserted 'source /etc/profile' directly into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc and it's working now! I still want to know the correct way to do this. if you someone knows, please send.
