Why would it not be considered "right"?  This depends entirely on
what you want it to do.

gnome-terminal does not "run" .bash_profile.  It runs /bin/bash
just time xterm does, but as a "login" shell which causes it to
read .bash_profile instead.  This is a configuration option in
gnome-terminal, and it's not done by default, so you most likely
configured it to do this; just uncheck the box in the edit profile
dialogue.

The BASH manual and info pages explain exactly how login shells
work.
