Two comments: 1) people should fix 'make' to just allow `-j` without an argument (seriously, dude ;^) ) 2) You can already do many of these things, and I've sent various patches to address the problem. The following should already work: user@.service: ... [Service] Environment=XDG_CONFIG_HOME=%h/.config Environment=SSH_AUTH_SOCKET=%t/ssh_auth_socket and even %H should now properly expand to $HOSTNAME, I just saw a patch fly in this week. I'm thinking that the settings you want to set should be read/executed when you open a terminal, but there's no need to set MAKEFLAGS for gnome-session... This is outdated and we should work on fixing this, instead of giving up and going back to the VW transporter and sniffing glue ;^) So, come help trying to resolve these issues with me!
