Hello,

I have tried LightDM in stead of Slim. It works nicely with one exception, most of the PATH is lost in X. I think this is a quite well known problem, but I could not find a solution by searching the net and experimenting a bit.

Using Slim I get but with LightDM only the last two. In the console (logging in as the same user on tty2) I get the full version.

What is it that I do not know?

yep, it depend on the shell you are using and therefore on the shell initialization files ~/.profile ~/.chshrc ... etc.
As far as I know /bin/sh works fine, some shell do have problem like yours.

ericbsd will add more info.

If you use fish add this to

/usr/local/etc/fish/config.fish

set -x PATH $PATH /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin

That solved it! I could not have figured out that one myself. Fish was the default option at install, so I let it be installed in order to not complicate matters. maybe this was not the right idea...
