[Gllug] Defining an enviromnet variable in Gnome (Ubuntu)

[Andrew Black - lists]

I want to define environment variables and have them available in any 
terminal window (and SSH sessions).  I have rpeviously done this by 
adding the command to .bash_profile.  However this does not appear to 
get called when starting an session with gnome.

Googling "bash_profile  gnome" has left me more confused.
