Ok, now a question. At home when I open an eterm in Wmaker, I get the prompt from my .bashrc. But when I open an xterm I get a different prompt that I think is from /etc/profile. Do different terms source different config files???
It depends, how the terminal has been started. There is a parameter that forces a "login" mode.
From "man xterm":
+ls This option indicates that the shell that is started should not be a login shell (i.e. it will be a normal ``subshell'').
