Thanks very much for the fix and the workaround! However, it looks as though there's an underlying problem, namely that gdm's default PATH is hardwired, not read from system settings. If /etc/login.defs changes (or the user changes it), this bug will reoccur. The (duplicate bug) #978259 discusses this, and suggests a fix (comment #4). This might be sufficient for Ubuntu, even if not for the general case. I filed an upstream bug for the general case here:
