After 2024-02-21 Stable Update ~/.profile file is no longer sourced

I experienced the same behavior and referenced this thread in:

[Stable Update] 2024-02-21 - Kernels, KDE, VirtualBox, Calamares, ROCm, Firefox, Thunderbird

With this update, ~/.profile is no longer sourced upon or before invoking an interactive non-login bash shell. I noticed it when bringing up a manpage. I set $MANWIDTH to 72 columns from .profile and export ten or so other environmental variables from that file. Same non-sourcing of .profile occurred using xterm, xfce-terminal, or urxvt. My work-around is to source ~/.profile from ~/.bashrc. See: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/after-2024-02-21-stable-update-profile-file-is-no-longer-sourced/15691…
