>From terminal A (may be xterm or xfce4-terminal), launch terminals: MYVAR="wow - some text!" xterm & MYVAR="wow - some text!" xfce4-terminal &
Now from those terminals, run: echo $MYVAR In xterm, we get the expected output - evidently MYVAR is correctly "passed through" - this is how env vars should work of course :) But sadly :( , as in, very sadly :,( , xfce4-terminal does not produce the expected output - MYVAR is not “passed through” it seems. Does anyone know why, but more importantly, does anyone know how to overcome this ‘feature’ of xfce4-terminal? TIA,
