This will make kvt a login shell which means it will run the default
profile for your shell (.bash_profile if you're shell is bash).  The
path is normally set in /etc/profile initially as this is the global
profile for all users.

You could also put stuff in Xsession (if you use KDM or XDM) or xinitrc
(if you use startx).
