It applies to all desktop environments.  Whenever you change your
central environment variables you must logout and login again, so that
the revisions to /etc/profile and all its associated scripts are
re-elaborated.

In a console shell, you can usually do:
  . /etc/profile
and the new environment values will be assigned.  This is why we are
told to do that when we use eselect to switch slots of some slotted
package, such as GCC.
