Hello Marc,

Did you read the first lines of /etc/profile? In short: better 
use /etc/profile.local instead of /etc/profile. But 
modifying /etc/profile in itself probably is not the cause.

Are you sure the changes you made do not contain syntax errors?

Any errors reported in /home/<username>/.xsession-errors, 
and/or /var/log/Xorg.*.log?

Cheers,

Leen
