sudo requires an additional "-i" argument in order to to run the shell
as login shell, reading ~/.profile. So you must teach the "sudo" entry
in tramp-methods to add this argument, via tramp-login-args.

Furthermore, if x's remote shell is bash or zsh, Tramp tries to avoid
reading ~/.profile. See tramp-sh-extra-args.
