For interactive shells, .bash_profile is for login shells (logging
into a VC), .bashrc is for non-login shells. Normally, the latter
should be called from the former. (See a typical /etc/skel/.profile)

So if you're adding a path to PATH, you don't want it in .bashrc
where it could get executed several times. But if you want a variable
available to   ssh hostname command   then it needs to be in .bashrc.

That doesn't tell me whether you run a DE or just a WM. I've read that
Gnome interferes with environment settings, so I'm entirely ignorant
about whether any DE will affect you. But if you're sticking to
definitions like PARM="static value", then general advice is to
set it everywhere.
