Subject: emacs process-environment under gnome
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:50:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <800763989@web.de> (raw)
When I start emacs under gnome using gnome's application menu, the emacs process is started by root (ppid 1). I find this very confusing. Why is this so? For me, the main problem is that this way emacs (the variable process-environment) doesn't know anything about the environment variables I like to use (which are defined in my .bashrc).
As you might guess I am new to gnome (but I've used emacs for some time). What are other people doing? Start emacs via a shell script?
Thank you!
