AFAIK, i3 will get started directly by gdm. I'm not sure, if there is a
shell between gdm and i3, but if it's the case, it will only be a
non-interactive login-shell.

While you're opening a terminal, you'll open a interactive non-loginshell.

Read up the "STARTUP" part in zsh(1). There is everything described, which
file it will source in which case.
