environment.plist not being read at login?

OS X 10.5.2
 
Hi,
 
In the past, I've used ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist to set user environment vars per Apple's instructions. I like to set some environment vars to source paths that change sometimes, and then expand them in Xcode's project settings. It's all worked fine in the past, until I installed Leopard. It simply seems that environment.plist is not being loaded, because I don't see my env vars in the shell's list of env vars after logging in. Needless to say, Xcode doesn't see them either. I've tried both using the plist file I used on 10.4.11, and creating a new one, and also tried two different accounts. Same problem.
 
Only thing unusual on my system is that one of the two accounts I have has a home dir that's on a different partition, and symlinked from /Users. It seems to be working fine, and I've always done that in the past. The other account I tested has its home folder in the regular place, on the startup partition.
 
I can create a shell script to set the vars and load xcode, and that works, and I suppose I could create a .bashrc script(?), but it bugs me that I can't get environment.plist working. Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks.
 
Cheers,
Michael
