I'm not Robert but LightDM simply sets a default PATH like every
other display manager (gdm/kdm/xdm etc.) for the session. You
still haven't told us what distribution/OS you're actually using
but if you want a different PATH for the session you are free to
override it in the session wrapper script or via PAM as with any
other display manager.
