 This line does not override the existing value.  Just setting the
 default value if not defined.

 As explained above, the acroread script does not change them if
 defined already.

 I basically think the user should be responsble for environment
 variables that he sets by himself, and the acroread script should set
 the default values at the most.  However, I agree with setting some
 variables to work around problems that prevent acroread from working,
 but I am not sure if your suggestion is reasonable yet.  On my box,

   GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
   QT_IM_MODULE=scim
   XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM

 works fine with acroread7 (not for acroread8, btw), and I could not
 understand the reason why changing XMODIFIER to @im=XIM does the
 trick.
