Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Create a ~/.xsessionrc with this line:
export FOO="bar"

login to gnome
ALT+F2 -> run "sh" in a terminal
execute this line:
echo $FOO

As you can see, the environment variable is not set.

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc should be sourcing this
file, but from what I can see
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc isn't being sourced either.

Looking at the gdm /etc/gdm/Xsession I don't see why it isn't being
interpreted.
