+    GTK+ uses this environment variable to provide startup notification
+    according to the <ulink url="http://standards.freedesktop.org/startup-notification-spec/startup-notification-latest.txt";>Startup Notification Spec</ulink>.
+    Following the specification, GTK+ unsets this variable after reading
+    it (to keep it from leaking to child processes). So, if you need its
+    value for your own purposes, you have to read it before calling
+    gtk_init().
