When I log in to the gui desktop as the user and then open a terminal screen the instructions in the .bashrc do get executed and the application runs as it should.
Any ideas of where to look ?
For starters, add some echo statements to the beginning of the .bashrc file to ensure that it is being executed. Maybe an error is occurring when it is a login shell. I usually debug startup problems like this by putting an exit call half way through the .bashrc file and add some echo statements.

Thanks for the ideas - I will try them on Monday when I get back to site.
