Yes.

The correct lines, from xdm, look like this: > > auth required pam_env.so > auth required pam_env.so envfile=/etc/default/locale > > See there are two lines. The behaviour contradicts the comment just above: So will it work if I add `auth required pam_env.so` to lightdm, lightdm-greeter and lightdm-autologin files? > there is not doubt this is a bug. You must file a bug report. So I should file this against jessie, lightdm or xfce(as in GNOME /etc/environment was getting loaded as expected)? Also as suggested in previous thread I added these lines in .bashrc: . /etc/environment export http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy and the workaround works!
