In Ubuntu 11.04, .pam_environment does not use the usual "KEY=VAL" format, but the pam config file format! This is unintuitive, not documented, and not useful (I was under the impression that .pam_environment was supposed to be _the_ place to set user-specific environment variables now). Even worse, if you try to add something to PATH in .pam_environment, this will reset PATH and prevent you from logging in via GDM (it will always throw you back to the login screen without giving any information)!
