Gnome applications and .bash_profile

It looks like environment variables set in .bash_profile are visible
to applications started in gnome but not via a shell. For example
evolution knows when I modify LC_COLLATE.
But how? Here's the invocation chain from login down to evolution -- no
shells here.

What am I missing?
