Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2022-10-21 12:47:19 CEST 
systemd has a mechanism for setting environment variables for user processes. Primarily this is for user units, but it is in practice also used for graphical sessions, as gdm also respects these. As such, it is probably something we should support.

Some details about this mechanism here:

Where gdm got support for it:
