Remember the original envvars when set over D-Bus

Export original envvar's values through D-Bus

Add Getenv() function for System Settings to lookup the original
value of a particular variable, such as the session language.

Patches are only compile tested right now. They should allow implementing the ideas in bug 647373.

Why the word "original"? It's not the original environment gnome-session was started with, it's the environment gnome-session currently has. Also, why the separate hash table instead of just using g_getenv ?

You're right, seeing as we can't change those values after the initialisation phase. Simplified the code, and changed the text to not mention "original".

talked with hadess about this on IRC. he's going to use setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, NULL) from the panel instead to avoid the unnecessary IPC, and having to deal with inheritance.
