No, I didn't but I think it wouldn't work for the very same reason that TMPDIR doesn't. Take a look at get_env_vars() in gs-job.c and gs-window-x11.c and you will notice that only a restricted subset of environment variables is specified. Neither GCONF_GLOBAL_LOCKS nor TMPDIR is among them. Piotr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
