Hm, interesting. That is indeed the behavior we *want* to get for XDG_DATA_HOME, but it's not the behavior we are actually getting. I have no clue why not.

Yeah that would be nice indeed, because otherwise simple things like debug environment variables will not work. E.g. you expect setting GST_DEBUG will result in a gstreamer debug log, but it will get stripped out. So I think we must propagate all environment variables regardless of whether XDG dirs are handled specially.
