Package: lightdm
Version: 1.10.1-3
If you log in to Debian's Xfce desktop via lightdm, then none of the
environment variables or other settings defined in
/etc/profile
/etc/profile.d/*.sh
/etc/xprofile
$HOME/.profile
$HOME/.xprofile
are present in the environment. You can even start up a shell in a
terminal emulator, and if the shell is non-login (as is the default),
then your shell will have no profile initializations whatsoever.
This is not the case on Xubuntu; there, lightdm wraps the call to
startxfce4 with /usr/sbin/lightdm-session, a script which contains the
following clause:
# Load profile
for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile"
"$HOME/.xprofile"; do
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "Loading profile from $file";
. "$file"
fi
done
Lightdm on Debian needs to do the above somewhere along the way.

Check the first line of /etc/profile:
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).
There's absolutely no reason to use that outside of bash. If you want to
setup environment variable inside your session, use ~/.xsessionrc.
