Well, in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Gnome, I find the following:

   ### Shell environment
   if [ -f /etc/environment ]; then
     . /etc/environment
   fi

Although, interestingly, the other gdm session scripts (Debian, Xsession)
do not have this. But at least the Gnome session script does indeed load
/etc/environment. If pam uses it as well, that's good to know.
