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.
