Title:
lightdm forgets to source
Derek, sourcing .profile makes perfect sense. You can't rely on having a
terminal or really being interactive or anything else _anyway_, and in
practice, long experience shows that sourcing profile in Xsession
actually doesn't cause any problems in practice. Display managers should
_always_ source
Sigh. Display managers should NEVER source .profile at all... that
file is exclusively for interactive shells, as is explicitly stated in
all of the man pages of every shell ever. I just opened Bug #1468832
about this, where I also explained how to properly accomplish what
people want here.

Title:
lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile
Status in Light Display
Same happens with kubuntu vivid and sddm. Should this be fixed

Right. While that works in Ubuntu too, sourcing of /etc/profile and
~/.profile by the DM is established practice in Ubuntu since long,

Maybe a bad choice of words.
It was done in the past so there is a strong argument that is should

If it is Ubuntu policy that '~/.profile' get sourced by the display
manger, all the display managers should do it and the sample file should
not indicate it is intended for the login shell.

Title:
lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile
Note that the profile is sourced at the top of /usr/sbin/lightdm-
session, and the bottom of lightdm-session runs everything in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d. The final file is 99x11-common_start, which is exec
