Leo doesn't find editor

[Gour]

Hello,

If I start Leo from the desktop (Run Application in GNOME), Leo cannot
find my $EDITOR setting set to emacsclient and reports:

No editor set!
Please set LEO_EDITOR or EDITOR environment variable,..

Here is the value of $EDITOR:

[gour@gaura-nitai leo-bzr] python
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Oct 27 2009, 06:25:13)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> print os.environ['EDITOR']
emacsclient
>>>

If I launch Leo from the (zsh) everything is OK.

What's wrong?

Sincerely,
Gour

You have different env in you zsh shell, as opposed to when launching
from gnome desktop.

Yeah, but then I find the error message "Please set LEO_EDITOR or
EDITOR environment variable" a bit misleading 'cause Leo does not
'read' environment, i.e. one would expect that setting e.g. EDITOR have
effect, but Gnome does not inherit it.

Leo does "read" the environment variable, it's just that gnome session
doesn't necessarily see it.

The gnome-visible env vars are (apparently) set through ~/.gnomerc.

You're right. I solved the problem by exporting LEO_EDITOR in
/etc/profile - had setting in /etc/zprofile which was some old
Archlinux-ism :-(
