That's not correct.  There are many different GUI login setups where
the .profile is never read.

That said, since this thread is specifically about *root* logins, GUI
logins may not be possible.  It depends on which Display Manager and
Desktop Environment are in use.  Many of them explicitly disallow direct
root logins.

So, ultimately it comes down to what the OP actually requires, and
what type of setup they use.  If they only want this thing to happen
when root logs in directly on a console or ssh, then .profile may
indeed be the correct answer.
