You are right. I've found that the issue happens also because I export $d in ~/.profile .
The updated list of steps to reproduce the issue: - echo 'export d=my-env-var-data' >> ~/.profile - Restart X session - Open a X terminal - echo $d - Returns "GNOME" Note: The installed display manager is sddm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877627 Title: /etc/default/im-config leaves temporary variables fixed in environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-config/+bug/1877627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
