I don't see what this will gain us, though it would be trivial to implement. Popular apps like netscape already do what I proposed, and I think that what we're doing is correct. However, please convince me of why we should set *yet another* environment variable if you think that it's the right thing to do. I'm convinced that we already do too much magic joo-joo in our wrapper script (in fact, i want to do away with the wrapper script, but that's for another email..) and that adding onto that would be bad, esp. when I don't see the benefits of adding another variable. Then again, it may just be that it's 10AM on a Monday here in Philadelphia... Cheers, Dom
