## Set By Electron
Electron sets some variables in your environment at runtime.
### `ORIGINAL_XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`
This variable is set to the value of `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` that your application
originally launched with. Electron sometimes modifies the value of `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`
to affect other logic within Chromium so if you want access to the _original_ value
you should look up this environment variable instead.
