Thank you, the "env" command solved it

The shorthand FOO=BAR COMMAND syntax is a feature in some shells, but
it isn't used everywhere. The "Command" field for something in session
properties (like the Exec property in a .desktop file) just doesn't
expect fancy input like that :)
For this sort of thing, try the Unix env command. In this case, you
can really just put "env " before what you are trying to enter and it
will do what you want. It has some other handy features, but the gist
of it is it runs a command after changing a particular environment
variable.

Hello,
I have a program which needs a LD_PRELOAD to run, and I'd like to have
it autostarted every time the gnome-session starts.
So I ran gnome-session-properties and added the whole command line to
the Startup Applications as I would type it in a shell:
LD_PRELOAD=<lib> <absolute path of the program>
It does not start. The syntax of .desktop files seems not to have a
provision for environment variables (documentation of Exec key says
nothing about those), and the function g_shell_parse_argv() seems
not to
take in account ENVVARIABLE=value on the command line, unlike a
"real" shell.
Is there a way to solve the problem? Or should this be considered
a bug
in gnome-session?
Regards,
Fabrizio
