Description of problem:
 When you start a shell that is not a login shell (starting gnome-terminal with
default settings for example) then the /etc/bashrc fails to understand that this
is not a login shell and the /etc/profile.d/*.sh files are not sourced as they
should be. One of the consequences of this is that ls doesn't have colors.
 The problem is in every redhat version from at least 6.2 till 9.
A patch to fix this is included below.
