Ok so everyone is for doing this pam, I found a (slightly) better place
to do this than gdm anyway. Someone should make note if this is done in
pam to remove the related lines in ~/.bash_profile too. I applied a
patch instead of to gdm, too: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11/Xsession.d$ diff 99x11-common_start
99x11-common_start2 -c1

I chose to patch this into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
because that way it would work despite what graphical login shell was
used.
This works perfectly, and can be used as a fix until someone hacks a
patch into pam.

would be nice to add ~/bin to the default PATH
