Actually I had this problem with a gentoo install a little while ago, the login process for some reason wasn't triggering the usual scripts for a login shell, so e17 was starting without any of the profile scripts triggering (/etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile). Consequently all of gentoo's environment configurations in /etc/env.d weren't loading up, the path being just one of the problems. Unfortunately I can't remember for the life of me how I fixed it without resorting to hacks in the bashrc or session files. If I remember I'll let you know. btw, also curious, why do terminals in e17 always startup with SHLVL=3? All the other desktops I have start up terminals in SHLVL=2.
