    Under GDM you can use systemd environment.d(5) to configure those variables. I have some examples in my dotfiles[2]. Your Sway configuration also has to inject it's own environment variables to systemd session like is documented here[3]. Arch Linux does that in `/etc/sway/config.d/50-systemd-user.conf`[4]
