Not an answer to this  question, but specifically for GNOME: If you are
lunching it via "GDM", then /etc/gdm/gdm.conf contains

...
# Default path to set.  The profile scripts will likely override this
DefaultPath=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
# Default path for root.  The profile scripts will likely override this
RootPath=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
...
