This comes about because both /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc source all
the files in /etc/profile.d.
And /etc/bashrc is in turn called by .bashrc. I've commented out the
code in /etc/bashrc.
I don't know if I have taken the wrong action, so I'm copying this
message to the fedora list.

I guess what happens is that /etc/profile is sourced when i login to
gdm, and then ~/.bashrc is run when i open a gnome terminal.
