  • Hmm. Any idea how well pam_env works with Wayland? Commented Dec 26, 2016 at 9:58
  • Supposed to work just fine, but note that its configuration files syntax is not very obvious and not very flexible - you can't source other files, you can't run programs to get values, etc. The way the GNOME/Wayland/systemd guys see the world, is that scripts should not be used for setting up things because this expressive power is too much for most uses and running them is slow and a security problem. I'm not a fan of this approach, but I can see what they're getting at. Commented Dec 26, 2016 at 12:57

    As of systemd 233 (March 2017) there is ~/.config/environment.d. See also unix.stackexchange.com/a/403196/23305. I've filed a bug for Gnome to update that wiki page. Commented Nov 7, 2017 at 23:32
