Hm... X/xDM is started from a virtual console (mine is usually started
from VC-7, which is the default). That's where your login should happen,
so everything started after that should inherit the environment
variables. I would assume gnome DE (everything related to) uses the same
"tactic"... but given the gnome developers ms-windows fanatiscism I
wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

Best regards / MfG
