Yep, that is the case.
I see. That should work.

The Unix environment more than likely isn't unless you have been
really, really careful. I'm constantly running into differences.
Well, XEmacs has no controlling tty. In my case (fvwm2), stdin is
/dev/null and stdout/stderr are ~/.xsession-errors.
Good.
Also, a program run from an xterm will generally inherit any
environment settings which are made in /etc/profile, ~/.profile etc,
while a program run from the WM won't.
Right.
However, my Xsession script sources both of these files, so there
shouldn't be any differences in the environment in this case.
Unless you do something different when the scripts are run
interactively -vs- noninteractively.
