Well, I still think the gist of my suggestion stands: make a script to
set up $PATH the way you want it (for both root and non-root users
respectively); put that script somewhere, anywhere really; and invoke
it from where you need $PATH set up.
That way, if you miss some path (no pun intended), all you need is to
figure out how to execute or source a script through there in such a
way that it affects the resultant environment; and if you want to make
adjustments later, you can do that in _one_ location.
