What a mess…
I've made a patch for the startDetached() methods with an optional environment parameter and used it in SystemcallPrivate::startProcess(). But it was not executed by LyX on preview. Uhmmm. I didn't know that LyX has a second fork()/exec() implementation: in ForkedCalls.cpp. This one is used by the preview loader. And runCommand() is another incarnation of the problem. It is enough for today. Stephan
