Subject: Bug#16040: fvwm2: PipeRead should set extra environment variables

Package: fvwm2
Severity: Wishlist
Version: 2.0.46-BETA-1

When I do a "PipeRead" fvwm2 should set environment variables like it does
when using FvwmM4 (Ie: TWM_TYPE = fvwm2, WIDTH = 1152, HEIGHT = 900, etc)

>From what I can tell, the child inherits fvwm's environment.

Also, when doing a PipeRead, specifing ".fvwm2/program" doesn't read
~/.fvwm2/program nor /etc/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2/program.  Fvwm should treat
PipeRead the same way it does Read, but also search the path if the program
wasn't found.
