No not manually I am referring to bootstrapping.When you switch the
power button on and from there the
Ubuntu boot sequence takes over after after the kernel initialized and
passes on the control to init 5.So
that the user gets gnome screen.I am not doing any thing manually just
referring to daemons.

Yes this makes things clear.

Ok.So you mean to say these variables in /etc/bash.bashrc come only to
picture when
daemons have started all (your boot sequence finished) and you got a
console to login and not when the daemons are starting  at boot time.
