I borrowed that setting from Debian a long time ago, so I have no idea
what's going on now.
Since you and Wengxt both said so, I think they're superfluous now.

You mean, just sourcing a script then everything will be all right?

I'll test what you say...I'm not sure if DE session management will
refresh itself when environment variable got changed

Application restart is acceptable, I just don't want to relogin the DE...

too far away :-)
