garnome-2.9.3 startup script

["J. Gardner Biggs" <gardnerbiggs houston rr com>]

I am running into a few strange problems with menus and mime type
program associations.  I was curious as to what environment variables
most set for garnome.

Here is my current startup script:

#!/bin/sh

GARNOME=/opt/gnome-2.9.3
PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PYTHONPATH=$GARNOME/lib/python2.2/site-packages
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GARNOME/etc/xdg
GDK_USE_XFT=1

export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH XDG_DATA_DIRS
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS GDK_USE_XFT

exec $GARNOME/bin/gnome-session

any suggestions?
