Typing
env | grep -i i3
should give you some solutions that work in your context.

Hello,
I need to set a enviromment variable:
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
it's needed for KDE application when run under i3 and it's important to be
set
only under i3, somehow it makes KDE behave weird.
(side note: if anyone knows how to get icons for KDE 5 (KF5) application,
I'm
open to any other solutions) [1]
I tried to use ~/.profile
% cat .profile
if [ $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="i3" ]; then
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
fi
export FLO_TEST_DOTPROFILE="flotest"
and ~/.xinitrc. But neither of these are even executed. ~/.pam_environment
works, but it's executed under KDE too and I can't put any if-logic there.
I use zsh, so .zprofile might be correct, but I don't want to have it set
for
shell sessions only, but for any applications started inside the session.
What is the best way to set a session wide environment variable only for
i3?
Login manager is SSDM, distribution is Arch.
Thanks and happy x-mas for whatever you are going to celebrate or not...
