I am for this change. This is excelent help for Japanese-Chinese-Korean-Indic-... people who needs to start special user variable and key input helper programs. This functionality can be used not just " a way to set per-user environment variables" but also includes "a way to start up of daemon process :-)" without using desktop specific way like ~/.gnomerc. As I see: 20x11-common_process-args 30x11-common_xresources 50x11-common_determine-startup 55gnome-session_gnomerc 60seahorse 75dbus_dbus-launch 80im-switch 90x11-common_ssh-agent 99x11-common_start I got enough bug reports on 80im-switch not preserving environment variable. In the retrospective, overiding 55gnome-session_gnomerc was the root cause. When documenting this feature for 30x11-common_xresources, you may want to mention that ~/.gnomerc sourced by 55gnome-session_gnomerc will overide this setting by 30x11-common_xresources.
