Description Murray Cumming 2011-02-28 10:54:17 UTC 
The documentation for the G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT flag is rather vague and self-referencing. It's the only place on the page where "environment" is even mentinoed:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/GApplication.html#G-APPLICATION-SEND_ENVIRONMENT

At the least, it would be nice to have some description of when you might want to use this flag.
