I know. So where does it get the information that e.g. /bin, /usr/bin and
/usr/local/games are in $PATH when I do not have ~/.xsessionrc? The only
two place I found where /etc/login.defs and /etc/profile and editing them
does not change it.

I doubt it just makes that up. What file does it read to get the data? So
where does it get the data besides ~/.xsessionrc?
What if I want to edit the default? What if I want to remove one? What if
I want to not have /usr/local/share or /usr/local/games for ALL users on the
machine by default?

So where does it get the info
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games comes from?
