Bash has two different init scripts. One is .bash_profile and the other is
.bashrc. The first one is executed for login shells and the second for
non-login shells. If you want bash to behave the same in both cases you have
to make sure that both scripts are the same (what I do is put everything in
.bashrc and make .bash_profile just execute it).

I don't know if this applies also to csh or tcsh, but, it's worth a try.
Look in the manual, it should be described there.

PS: kvt is always a non-login shell.
