I don't think .bash_profile gets sourced when you log in via an
XDM/GDM type session. (After all, when would it, since you don't
really have a login shell.)
Personally, I have it in my .bashrc, though that has it's own set of drawbacks.
If you do some searches about debian and sourcing login shells and
gdm, you'll find more than enough reading material to keep you busy
for hours.
