I have now shifted to defining all my general environment variables in 
~/.profile, which is made a little more difficult since I am using fish as 
my main shell (so scripts *in* variables are somewhat limited, since fish 
might not be able to execute them). Neither .bashrc nor .zshrc nor fishs 
config contain any further environment variables, and this seems to give 
ranger and the processes it spawns the proper environment.

This leaves me with the few applications I am still unable to launch via 
dmenu: steam, Teams (flatpak) and at least one more I forgot. I really have 
no clue how to even investigate this problem, since none of the 
applications appear to log anything when such a launch goes wrong.
