[PD] respawn PD with gui in Debian

[Dan Wilcox]

On Ubuntu, I call my startup script in ~/.bash_profile and my shutdown/cleanup script in ~/.bash_logout.

Also, you will need to put ". .bashrc" at the beginning of the .bash_profile so all the default shell settings will be setup when it is called.
