Bug#428831: GDM does not parse /etc/profile for the PATH statement.

[Chris Dos]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.18.2-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
It seems the GDM does not get it's PATH statement from /etc/profile, or pull the PATH 
statement from .bash_profile when a WM is started.

Running e17 (and I'm sure all other WM's) prevents the Run Command from seeing items in 
~/bin which is in /etc/profile and in .bash_profile.  Switching to KDM allows the PATH for 
the WM to be set correctly and my Run Command option works fine.
