As far as I've been able to determine, this environment.d stuff does *not* work with logins. It seems to be designed to work only for services that you launch with systemctl --user, or dbus, or something. The documentation is horrible, so I have to use weasel-phrases like "as far as I've been able to determine" and "seems to be". It would be lovely if the documentation would simply *say* what the feature is intended to do, and how one actually uses it, including an example. You may take comfort in the fact that you were not the first person to waste a bunch of time trying to get this thing to do something that it *looked* like it was supposed to do... but doesn't actually do.
