I search for the string LD_LIBRARY_PATH in all of my home files... apart from .bashrc and .bash_profile, .xsession-errors had the following:

$ grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH .xsession-errors
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=BASH_PROFILE
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=BASH_PROFILE which I guess is coming form .bash_profile once it gets "sourced" at login!! I am not sure.
