To clarify: I didn't mean that .bash_profile was run on login to X, but
was definitely run at some point, so ~/bin was available when you opened
a shell through gnome-terminal. The move to dash meant it was no longer
run meaning that functionality broke for those using a ~/bin. Really the
functionality shipped by Ubuntu in ~/.bash_profile previously should
have been moved so that it still worked with dash.

I don't claim to understand exactly what happened, but the point is that
functionality broke for people doing upgrades and has not bee fixed.
