GNOME Shell overrides LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable

[Martin Pulec]

Binary package hint: gnome-shell

Hi,
I have a minor problem with GNOME Shell. It overrides a LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable with ":/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.15", which is slightly annoying. I set this variable in .gnomerc. Other variables, such as PATH are untouched and left as they are defined in .gnomerc. I am not sure if it is G-Shell, who overrides it (can be also mutter or so) but I think it is likely. I am using login through standard GDM and gnome3-session. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is exported in .gnomerc.

It seems like gnome3-session or some caller discards the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because it is unset in /proc/`pidof gnome-session`/environ. I wasn't able to track it further, but it is definitely somewhere between calling /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc and running gnome-session (through gnome3-session).
BTW, I didn't encounter such a behaviour with standard GNOME 2 and gnome-session, so I suspect gnome3-session.

That version is no more supported

Sorry that this bug report could not be resolved before the Ubuntu version expired. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since then, and the bug may have been fixed. If you still have the problem with a current version of Ubuntu, please reopen the report.
