I think it makes sense. DBus in wily (>= 1.9) does similar for Xsession.d managed sessions:
# unset login-session-specifics unset XDG_SEAT unset XDG_SESSION_ID unset XDG_VTNR # tell dbus-daemon --session (and systemd --user, if running) # to put the Xsession's environment in activated services' # environments dbus-update-activation-environment --verbose --systemd --all You probably want to blacklist those same variables. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity-lens-applications in Ubuntu.
