Oh, yes you are right. At the moment I don't use RH so I can't check it to ensure however as I remember or many boxes ".bash_profile" is read after login. So maybe the best place is to put this variables in this file. Or maybe on some linux distributions this is ".profile" file. Check this, I am sure one of above should work with window managers.
