This file describes various problems that have been encountered
in compiling, installing and running GNU Emacs.
+ * Environment Variables from dotfiles are ignored with Mac OS X (Carbon).
+
+ When starting Emacs from the Dock or the Finder on Mac OS X, the
+ environment variables that are set up in dotfiles, such as .cshrc or
+ .profile, are ignored. This is because the Finder and Dock are not
+ started from a shell, but instead from the Window Manager itself.
+
+ The workaround for this is to create a .MacOSX/environment.plist file to
+ setup these environment variables. These environment variables will
+ apply to all processes regardless of where they are started.
+ For me information, see http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html.
