I don’t know if this applies to all distributions, but at least in Ubuntu, 
the GNOME on Wayland and KDE on Wayland desktop sessions are started 
without a shell being invoked at any point, so ~/.profile and related files 
don’t get evaluated.

In KDE, the way to define environment variables that will be set in the 
Wayland session is to put a shell script in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/.

I hadn’t figured out how to do it in GNOME when I briefly searched for it. 
This systemd override file seems to be the solution.
