Lumina provides a special environment variable configuration file=20 (~/.config/lumina-desktop/envsettings.conf) which is just a=20 <variable>=3D<value> list of environment variables to apply to the desktop=20= session (one variable per line). The desktop monitors that file and will automatically re-apply env changes=20= as needed when you make changes to that file. It cannot change the=20 environment for applications that are already running, but it can change=20 the default environment for applications that you launch later on. --=20 ~~ Ken Moore ~~ ken@ixsystems.com
