8* Environment Variables from dotfiles are ignored with Mac OS X (Carbon).
9
10When starting Emacs from the Dock or the Finder on Mac OS X, the
11environment variables that are set up in dotfiles, such as .cshrc or
12.profile, are ignored. This is because the Finder and Dock are not
13started from a shell, but instead from the Window Manager itself.
14
15The workaround for this is to create a .MacOSX/environment.plist file to
16setup these environment variables. These environment variables will
17apply to all processes regardless of where they are started.
