i assume you mean kdm or some other display manager. many of these
are broken and don't properly source /etc/environment.
wdm from unstable currently works if you add pam_env.so to its pam
file. for others that dont work right with pam you can add a kludge
to /etc/X11/Xsession:
# If /etc/environment is present, source it. It's useful to put
default
# environment settings in this file, and then source it both here and
in
# /etc/profile.
if [ -f /etc/environment ]; then
eval env "`cat /etc/environment`"
fi
