$PATH is wrong

[Removed by request]

I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev and I'm noticing that I'm getting an unexpected $PATH on a terminal with my user:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

On the console all is fine and for root on the console and a terminal all is fine too. /etc/environment contains "PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"" and I couldn't figure out why only my user on a terminal gets the wrong path.

I have already looked for information and tried various things to solve this issue. Maybe it is not a bug but from the many reports I have already made and the user-defined setup I'm running I would not be surprised if I hit again a rare condition.

On creating a new user I have noticed the same issue. I have then tested if /etc/environment is being read by adding a testvariable to it. Loging in with my account does not load this variable into the environment but loging in with root does. The permissions for this file are 0644 for root:root. Any idea how to debug this issue?

Logging in how? The various login services should all be respecting pam_env, but if one isn't, it's a bug in that specific service.

This issue appears if I login with LXDM into my LXDE desktop. I'm not sure if this issue comes then from lxdm or lxsession.
