Is "ls" aliased to anything in your shell?  Is DIR_COLORS set?  Usually
one of the scripts processed when you log in will do the equivalent of:

alias ls='ls --color=tty'
eval `dircolors`

If you edit the current profile, and check the box for "Run command as
a login shell" on the "Title and Command" tab, does the behavior
change at all?
