And because of the introduction of the new gdm my session also doesn't source my "~/.xsessionrc" file anymore.
That's where I used to set all my session-wide environment variables previously.
Something that one could potentially do is add some userspace directory like ~/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and then put symlinks to your shared libs into ~/lib. The library database has to be updated with sudo ldconfig each time a new lib appears in your folder, though. I don't like this approach very much and would much rather use .profile or LD_LIBRARY_PATH again.
I have the same problem....
