[systemd-devel] Small tool to spawn programs in graphical sessions from non-graphical ones

[Manuel Amador (Rudd-O]

D-BUS.

XAUTHORITY.

Other session variables (including KIO / GPG password manager / et cetera).

You get the use of none of these things in your cron-started programs... 
unless you use my program.  Some programs even flat out refuse to start, 
actually.

Thus, why I wrote my program.
