[Bug 794315] Re: lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile
This bug was fixed in the /etc/lightdm/Xsession script, which is part of the Debian/Ubuntu packaging, not upstream:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/lightdm/oneiric/revision/10
So I think this will need to be dealt with on the Gentoo side, and
there’s nothing to reopen from here.

Title:
lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile
Status in Light Display Manager:
Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: lightdm
/etc/gdm/Xsession had this code:
# First read /etc/profile and .profile
test -f /etc/profile && . /etc/profile
test -f "$HOME/.profile" && . "$HOME/.profile"
# Second read /etc/xprofile and .xprofile for X specific setup
test -f /etc/xprofile && . /etc/xprofile
test -f "$HOME/.xprofile" && . "$HOME/.xprofile"
so that, for example, ~/bin gets added to the path (by the default ~/.profile), and any user-customized environment setup gets run.
After switching from gdm to lightdm, this no longer happens. This is
going to be a regression now that lightdm is becoming the default
display manager.
