It is started by the Display Manager, thus inherit whatever environment variable is sourced by the DM. To have the DM be aware of custom variables, it needs to source that information from a file from your home directory. The file itself depends on the DM and/or DE, on how it's been written, because this hasn't been standardized. At the core, all they are doing is starting a Xorg session. Which means that /etc/X11/Xsession is being involved. I remember having to change something in order to make xfce aware of additional PATH entries, but I since then changed my DE to KDE. I can't remember the steps I had to take. It probably has to do with a file present in /etc/xdg/xfce4 You could try your luck with ~/.xsessionrc though.No ~/.xsessionrc present.

Did find the following in the update log - - - seems like systemd is
working on sneaking
in the back door even if the front door is bolted shut! (in the
Debian/xscreensaver files.)
- X11: `xscreensaver-systemd' now detects when a video player has
inhibited screen blanking and then exits without uninhibiting.
IIRC, It's a dbus component to xscreensaver because it can't talk to systemd, otherwise. It's not systemd itself though.
I'm finding things are goofy though - - - I made my xrnadr settings permanent by writing the commands to a file and saving it (trying to remember where !!!!1 -0 - - argh!) and found that I needed to modify that placement. Changed the file but I still need to change the setup using xrandr after every restart. The bulk of things is correct but it would be nice if it all were. This issue is frustrating. I do a reboot and take that 1/2 hour to set everything up the way I want. Then the screensaver works for 4 days - - - then it quits - - - like every stinking time!
Restart it. Kill the processes and restart them.
Sorry people but this aspect of technology is part of my - - - -can't stand - - - so I have a lot of sympathy for those who just throw up their hands and just conform to the majority case - - - - do little and just play with the toys. I am still fighting that though. Regards
