Lightdm screws up environmental variables for any user logged in through it.

It cuts down $PATH for user to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin, cutting away such
paths as /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/user/bin.

It even screws up envvars set by /etc/login.conf! As a consequence - it screws
up localization configured via /etc/login.conf

This can not be justified by "sbin's are for superusers", because they are not.

FreeBSD: 11.0-RELEASE-p8
lightdm: 1.20.0_4, compiled from ports using synth (because it fails to compile
using portmaster).
