I already set them in my ~/.profile, but that does not seem to work, as
they are not seen when starting LyX (or perhaps any GUIX installed
app?). Would setting them in ~/.bash_profile work? I thought that
~/.profile is loaded on login. I also need the variables to be visible,
when I click a launcher for example, so not only when I open a terminal.
Not sure bash_profile would be considered in that case?
I need to try this. Thanks so far!
