The linked page about Debian specifies that Debian does not read ~/.profile for graphical login and ~/.xsessionrc should be used instead.

"Ubuntu specifically discourages using .profile (link)" The wiki did once (absurdly) discourage that; that's been fixed. (Note /etc/profile does remain discouraged for systemwide assignments, in preference for adding scripts to /etc/profile.d.) Per-user .profile files are now presented as one of the recommended ways to set per-user environment variables: "Suitable files for environment variable settings that should affect just a particular user (rather than the system as a whole) are ~/.pam_environment and ~/.profile."

Thank you for your feedback. I hope I updated my answer well enough to resolve your complaints. Regarding my advice to "always read .bashrc", I meant always for an interactive shell. I have clarified that part. I hope it is not misleading anymore.

Some of this is correct, but “always read ~/.bashrc” is bad advice: you should only read .bashrc from an interactive shell. You've missed the core problem here which is that when logging in under X, there is no login instance of bash (under most display manager/desktop environment combinations, including evidently AntonioK's).
