I have been playing around with gdkxft and so have the LD_PRELOAD environment variable set to point to the gdkxft library. The problem is with Linux programs which obviously can not link the FreeBSD library. The LD_PRELOAD environment variable needs to be unset to run these. For those Linux programs that use a wrapper script, such as netscape it is easy enough to just unset the variable in the wrapper script. The problem is with Linux programs that do not use a wrapper script. I know the wrapper scripts are trivial to write but it does not seem practical to write a wrapper for every such program. Does any one have an idea about what the cleanest way to handle this would be? Is it possible to have the linuxulator ignore attempts to link FreeBSD libraries?
