When starting a command from the panel like "urxvt -e irb" (interactive Ruby)(*) or "urxvt -e tmux" the EDITOR variable still is empty. TMux tries to read the variable and will not set its option "status-keys" properly which is very annoying. My workaround is to source "/etc/profile" in " ~/.xinitrc". Nevertheless it is surprising behaviour. I log in and "login.conf" will not be read.
