Is it possible that lxdm is not even reading /etc/profile?

I'm using lxdm 0.3.0-0ubuntu5 (in natty) and I just added a line like

export HELLO=BYE

at the end of /etc/profile, however, the $HELLO variable is not set.

Am I doing something wrong?

Where can I set environment variables that are defined no matter what desktop environment I choose?
