~/.bashrc is only executed when starting a shell, not when starting an X
session.  See Xsession(5) for an explanation, in particular:

       /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc
              Source global environment variables.  This script will
              source anything in $HOME/.xsessionrc if the file is
              present.  This allows the user to set global environment
              variables for their X session, such as locale information.

So, in short, you need to do:

$ echo "export ADA_OBJECTS_PATH=$HOME/adalib" > ~/.xsessionrc

then log out and log back in.
