Fair warning: it's not practical to safely use setenv() in a threaded application except at the very beginning of main() before any secondary threads are created, since one thread could be calling setenv() (or Environment.set_variable() in Vala) at the same time another is calling getenv(). It's not some theoretical issue, we've had multiple cases in GNOME, including one where the entire desktop session crashes (GNOME #754951).</pre>
