After updating my GNUstep installation from CVS today, I noticed that
staring GWorkspace from my windowmaker shelf icon does not find its user
defaults anymore :-(

Digging deeper into this issue, this seems to be triggered by a
difference between GNUstep.sh and GNUstep.csh: GNUstep.csh does some
regex magic to set the contents of /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf as
environment variables whereas GNUstep.sh simply sources
/etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf but never exports the variables.

So the csh env has the following environment vars set that are missing
from the sh version:

GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE
GNUSTEP_USER_CONFIG_FILE
GNUSTEP_USER_DEFAULTS_DIR
GNUSTEP_USER_DIR
