I think Arch uses it, and they have an extremely good wiki. Sometimes, searching Google for the answer to a Debian question will turn up a link to the Arch wiki. And pretty often, an answer that works in Arch will also work in Debian. But not always. It's also possible that they turned up an answer involving ~/.xprofile from some random web forum where GNOME users happened to be conversing, if what you say is correct. GNOME is rapidly becoming its own separate sub-operating-system, where nothing works quite the same way as it does on regular Linux-based systems. Recognizing that the answer you're reading only applies to GNOME requires a fair amount of experience.
