But I have cheched the /etc/profile adn the defaulte to the xserver:

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"

which I overide.I have the source of 4.1.0-16woody3 here and
I have not found anything (maybe lake of experience :-/ )

It is wired, why it does not only cut $HOME but all up to the first ":"
