I'm assuming the latter.  As I said, it will depend on how you start X.  
If you use startx from a shell, then obviously X and related programs 
should inherit from the shell (they do here).  Anyone using a dm (x/g/k/
whatever) will of course login from that, perhaps without ever seeing a 
shell.  However, depending on how the distribution is setup, it may still 
source and inherit from the shell initialization files.  Actually, I 
think most are setup to do so, thus presenting an appropriately 
customized environment to everything running in X.  But I don't think 
it's mandatory, and some may not.  That said, I haven't used a DM in 
years, so what they do these days I have only cursory knowledge of.
