Thanks for the export point which I have now used. However it doesn't 
solve the problem.

I experimented by adding the following line into ~/.bash_profile, 
~/.profile and ~/.bashrc:
echo "This is <scriptname>" &>>/tmp/out.txt

Neither of the profile files triggered the output, nor did .bashrc until 
I manually opened a Mate terminal from the desktop. So it appears that 
the profile files do not get invoked at any time.

I've even tried changing the PATH which is set at the top of 
/etc/profile, but this doesn't work either, so it looks like profile 
files are ignored altogether.
