I noticed that recently: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (getenv "XDG_SESSION_TYPE") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- returns nil, because this variable isn't in process-environment What is the reason for dropping this particular variable ? How can I get the value of this variable from within Emacs ? -- Julien Cubizolles
