[SOLVED] HISTCONTROL

I've tried to set HISTCONTROL to erasedups I've added the line HISTCONTROL=erasedups to both ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. In the virtul consoles ([CTRL]+[ALT]+[Fn]) HISTCONTROL is set to erasedups. In my preferred terminal emulator Konsole, however HISTCONTROL is set to ignoredups. Terminology and Xterm behaves like Konsole, while Eterm has HISTCONTROL set to erasedups.
