It seems the GDM does not get it's PATH statement from /etc/profile, or pull the PATH
statement from .bash_profile when a WM is started.
AFAIK this is intentional. The PATH is inherited from /etc/login.defs.
The /etc/profile is a configuration file for bash, not for GDM.
Cheers,
Thanks for the insight. I could not find where the path was parsed. It might be good to
add a comment in one of the GDM startup files specifying where the PATH statement is
parsed. Thanks again.
