.bashrc is sourced only for interactive shells, not for login shells. So
put a "if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then source $HOME/.bashrc ; fi" in
$HOME/.bash_profile to source that for login shells (where you type
"startx", and from where the environment is taken).

If you're using a login manager, ask the google how to set the
environment variables for it.
