Prior to this change, wrappers did set the specified environment variables toa fixed value, overwriting any user settings. This inhibited propagatinge.g. XDG_DATA_DIRS from a profile to the application.
Now user environment variables are prefixed (if the variable defines some"binary" search path, e.g. QT_PLUGIN_PATH) or suffixed (if the variabledefines some config or data search path, e.g. XDG_DATA_DIRS). The code couldalso allow to overwrite, anyhow currently no variable is defined like this.
