My shell in /etc/passwd is /bin/bash. Just in case I copied the /etc/defaults/profile to /etc/profile and added a check if that even gets called. /etc/profile *doesn't* get called with a non-interactive ssh which is the correct behavior - only the users ~/.bashrc should be called. I reinstalled the service just in case there was something strange there (like being set to allow service to interact with desktop) - but still no luck... So if you put some echo command in your .bashrc and then run ssh localhost pwd, you see it?
