Yes, maybe it would be cleaner to agree on some protocol for the parent process to send the information directly to the child. I'm not sure about using environment variables though because they tend to be inherited. For example if you used the desktop shell to launch a terminal then all clients that that terminal launched would end up with the same environment variables. > 2.

The desktop shell is also a client in a separate process so it can't directly manipulate the compositor's view of the new client without some sort of protocol.
