If you're talking about PATH, then you're talking about logging in.
So of equal importance to the DE you're using is the DM, and I'll
guess that's likely lightdm. Was that amongst your search terms?

Yes, as are so many other details of configuration.
If searching outwards gets you no further, then perhaps turn your
attention inwards. For example, grep -r PATH /etc or, a little
less noisy, grep -r PATH= /etc will reveal some candidates
(plus lots of false positives, which the filenames will make obvious).
Cheers,
David.
