Oops,
It's not gonna work...

man bash
[...]
     Login shells:
       On login (subject to the -noprofile option):
             if /etc/profile exists, source it.

             if ~/.bash_profile exists, source it,
               else if ~/.bash_login exists, source it,
                 else if ~/.profile exists, source it.

       On exit:
             if ~/.bash_logout exists, source it.

     Non-login interactive shells:
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       On startup (subject to the -norc and -rcfile options):
             if ~/.bashrc exists, source it.
		~~~~~~~~~
So, it should be ~/.bash_login (if you want it to work only in bash)
or ~/.profile (if you want it to work in ksh, sh etc. as well).

If you'll put this in .bashrc, it will work in _every_ bash, not just
in login shells.
