How to get PATH in X

Hi all,

My situation is this:

1. I use XFCE

2. I use Emacs in XFCE

3. I installed Node in

   /home/mihamina/Apps/node

   so that "node" binary is in

   /home/mihamina/Apps/node/bin

4. I installed "pyls" with

   pip install python-lsp-server

   so that "pyls" binary is in

   /home/mihamina/.local/bin

5. In Emacs, I already set

   (add-to-list 'exec-path "/home/mihamina/Apps/node/bin")

6. I already set the PATH in

   /home/mihamina/.bashrc

   and it is set correctly

7. Neither "node" nor "pyls" are seen by Emacs

8. But When I add

   append_path '/home/mihamina/Apps/node/bin'

     to 

    /etc/profile.d/mihamina.sh 

   and make sure it is loaded, Emacs finds it.

Is it the only way to alter PATH for X applications on Archlinux, or is there a cleaner way to do so?
