Only those applications that properly comply with standards :)
For instance, glib did not start respecting ${HOME} until version 2.36 if I
remember right; before that, unset XDG_* variables would cause
g_get_user_cache_dir() etc. to fall back to something under /root/ no matter
where ${HOME} pointed. Which is the main reason why gnome2_environment_reset()
was created.
