Since caribou installs the introspection files and python modules in the
default system paths, it seems to me that it actually doesn't really
matter that much that GI_TYPELIB_PATH and PYTHONPATH point to
non-existing directories.
We could just as well drop those environment variables (including
LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

So it's mostly a cosmetic issue, imo, definitely not RC.
