Yes, I think it is, since obviously the configuration shouldn't be read from your
home directory until you log in (at least, not in a multi-user environment,
which Linux inherently provides).

You could try setting your environment variable in /etc/rc.local in case that
helps. there might be a gdm configuration option that you need to preserve
environment variables as well - have a look at the gdm documentation, or wait
for a reply from someone who knows gdm.
