 The start_tdeinit wrapper is setuid, which means some shell variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 get unset before it's launched. However tdeinit is used to launch most of KDE, so such variables
 should not be dropped. Therefore this wrapper for the setuid wrapper read the environment
 and writes it to start_tdeinit's stdin, which after dropping priviledges reads it and uses it
 for launching the real tdeinit.
