Re: change an environment variable in a running gnome session

[Fabio Rafael da Rosa <rafael f2r gmail com>]

yes, I was thinking exactly something like windows one.
But I can´t realize a way to do this....
if we create an function for gnome to launch programs in a top
processes, like gnome-session, and nautilus and gnome-panel use this
to lanch programs, we
can change gnome-session environment e relaunch programs.
I think this work, but don´t know if it´s possible
