Agreed: portage can clear those vars from the env as mgorny stated on the bug, and an xdg.eclass (or w/e) can setup good defaults for packages which need them. Presumably it'd be inherited by gnome and kde eclasses, for example, so most people wouldn't even see it. -- #friendly-coders -- We're friendly, but we're not /that/ friendly ;-)
