Could it be that the variables were set in .profile after the current
desktop session started running? In GNOME, I noticed that processes
started from the menus are given a copy of the environment variables
as they were when the GNOME process was started. Which can make things
quite confusing, as a process may get variables that are not set in
the current .profile and *rc files anymore.
