Bug Description
I'm reporting this bug after asking this question in Ask Ubuntu: http://
The default value of the PATH environment variable in Ubuntu is: /usr/lib/
(the lightdm part may or may not be there)
/usr/local/games appears after /usr/games instead of before.
This seems to be a mistake. I think /usr/local/games should appear before /usr/games, more so considering that the other two "local" directories appear before the non-local ones.
This default PATH seems to come from /etc/environment, and this file is created by libpam-module's postint script (the answer to the Ask Ubuntu question explains this).
This is specific to Ubuntu. Debian apparently has the directories in the correct order.
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10, but I think this "problem" already existed before.
