/etc/environment is empty on Debian. I picked up the correct PATH from
gdm so at least at one point it was the default used by gdm (2 I guess).

Title:
  $PATH does not contain /usr/games on Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) -
  /etc/environment not sourced or environment not preserved

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce: 
  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Run "echo $PATH"

  Expected result: the path contains the folder /usr/games like on earlier 
releases of Ubuntu.
  Actual result: PATH does not include /usr/games

  path i natty:
  /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

  path i oneiric:
  /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin/bin

  For some reason /usr/games is missing in Oneiric, which results in
  games not being run without specifying the complete path. For instance
  to run gbrainy, /usr/games/gbrainy is necessary.

  Also notice that /usr/bin and /usr/sbin have reversed order in
  Oneiric, though I'm not sure if this is related.

  I have unfortunately not been able to discover which package is
  responsible for path, so I have not assigned this bug to a package.
