The shorthand FOO=BAR COMMAND syntax is a feature in some shells, but it isn't used everywhere. The "Command" field for something in session properties (like the Exec property in a .desktop file) just doesn't expect fancy input like that :)
For this sort of thing, try the Unix env command. In this case, you can really just put "env " before what you are trying to enter and it will do what you want. It has some other handy features, but the gist of it is it runs a command after changing a particular environment variable.
