Ah, you are correct.

I had further modified my
gui-agent-linux/appvm-scripts/usrbin/qubes-session in ways which are
not suitable for upstream. My changes introduced an obvious race
condition in which it is possible for the qubes session env to be
"made ready" (mv /tmp/qubes-session-env.tmp ...env) before things
started from xdg wrote to the env.tmp, potentially leading to vars
from xdg failing to propagate. It always worked in practice, but that
does not make it ok.

One thing to clarify is what env var propagation dependency relations
we should allow:
- Should xdg-autostart be able to somehow propagate vars to other
xdg-autostart entries? (allowing gnome-keychain -> nm-applet case)
- only xdg-autostart -> qrexec-fork-server?
- something else?
