That's a feature. The way to do this is:
- try it out at the command line.
- if that works, add it to one of your startup files (~/.bashrc,
~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, ...).
- start up a terminal program, selecting a login shell (so it runs
your startup scripts; "rxvt -ls &" would do it), to ensure there
are no conflicts.
- enjoy.
