  It isn't that /etc/environment isn't being read. It is that something is overwriting the PATH. The lines below in /etc/pam.d/gdm do cause it to read /etc/environment. I can add things to /etc/environment and they will appear in my environment. Yet my PATH is still without sbins.

/etc/pam.d/gdm:
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
