Globally setting environment variables with xdm



Hello, 

I'd like to set some environment variables globally for the whole
system.  Before I began using xdm /etc/profile was fine for that.  But
now X is started directly by xdm which is started by init, there is no
mother login shell for all user processes.

Is there a way of telling xdm to execute /etc/profile.  If not, how
could I achieve the desired effect in some other way?

Thanks in advance,
Christoph
