Maxime: I agree that this was a very confusing wording. Here is a reformulation 
that I hope clears up any misunderstanding.
PS: `gdm-wayland-session-wrapper` does in fact set environment variables, only 
that it indirectly uses `/etc/profile` to do so. Otherwise, the default profile 
wouldn't be active in the wayland session.
