it seems that the games path is not added into my $PATH variable no matter now many times i run env-update or source /etc/profile

if you haven't already log out and log back in (not just X but from original console login session)

What does it say in the /etc/env.d/90games file? Also do you modify the $PATH variable in this user's .bashrc or .bash_profile? (or equivalent if their shell is not bash)

propably a duplicate of http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-848001-start-150.html (see nightmorph's analysis on the issue)

quoting him: "My $PATH issue turned out to be a problem with SLiM. Dunno what happened during the Xfce4.8/udev/Xserver update, but SLiM hosed my $PATH."
