Would be far easier to parse, indeed. Querying the daemon after start would be
second best, because it would avoid having to parse a config file.
However, environments do sometimes get cleared, so a child process somewhere
down the tree could lose it. Obviously that can't happen for a session daemon,
because they'd have lost the bus address too, but Colin is talking about
servers, so sessions may not be anywhere in sight. A query to the daemon would
apply to all processes that, well, talk to the daemon :)
Is there a security concern here for environment variables?
