[systemd-devel] user environment variables

[arnaud gaboury]

For systemd be aware of certain environment variables, I usually use a
drop-in config in /etc/systemd/system/user at service.d. This way, I can
see the varibale when running
$ systemctl --user show-environment

Now I am wondering why not using the /etc/systemd/user.conf for these
variables. I tried this:

......
DefaultEnvironment=DISPLAY=:0
RXVT_SOCKET=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/urxvt-hortensia TOTO=me
........

Unfortunately,
-------------------------------------------------------------
gabx at hortensia ➤➤ ~ % systemctl --user show-environment
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/dbus/user_bus_socket
DISPLAY=:0
TOTO=me
HOME=/home/gabx
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LOGNAME=gabx
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/gabx
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
RXVT_SOCKET=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/urxvt-hortensia
SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh
USER=gabx
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
------------------------------------------------------------

the path is not recognized, even if XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is a known
variable. Please note that DISPLAY and TOTO are recognized

I am wondering what I am doing wrong with RXVT_SOCKET ?

Thank you for hints
