environment variables are normally propagated from parent to child, but they're used to convey information that's typically scoped to the session. gnome-shell needs to know about environment variables that are set in the session after it's already been started. gnome-session now exports its environment to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gnome/environment so that programs in the session can pick up on the latest environment variables. This commit changes gnome-shell to propagate the gnome-session's latest environment when launching new children.
