Yes I think this would be a good idea.
What about the attached patch?

Tested here, works -- at least the env var appears in the /proc/pid/environ of the kde4 apps.
Inside konsole it's not set since the shell gets its own environment, but that's not something
we can do anything about I guess, shell people will still need to configure their shell.
