I encourage asking your window manager maintainers to support environment.d because it allows for different components to easily adjust environment variables. I provided the environment.d config for convenience, but I don't think it can be expected to work for every way people use Debian. If /etc/environment works for you, you can do that yourself. The upstream README suggests that using ~/.bash_profile may work for people. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
I agree with Jeremy that individual desktop shells should be prepped for gtk-nocsd usage via the desktop envs' maintainers.
For X11 desktops, a wonderful place to enable gtk-nocsd probably is /etc/X11/Xsession.d/, isn't it? (Not sure about Wayland, though, what they use nowadays).
