We need to add some information about all LibreOffice specific environment variables to the wiki. Additionally it would be good to document what they do. An example is: SAL_NO_MOUSEGRABS There is this page with old OpenOffice Environment Variables, but they are only a starting point and may be outdated.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

Just create a new wiki page nad mention it here. I'll link it into the appropiate development page. Are you interested in writing some comments to some of these variables explaining what they do? For most of them it sould be easy to get an idea about them by the name and where they are used in the code.
Hi, Here is the wiki page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Environment_variables I am interested in writing comments.
"Assigned" due to facts
Updated the list and the command line to use git grep. Mark this as fixed.

Hi, Do you think that a bare list of the environment variables gives the user enough information about how to use it? Additionally, the list is incomplete, e.g. there are aliases introduced in fpicker/source/office/iodlg.cxx getEnvironmentValue which enquires "WorkDirMustContainRemovableMedia". Do you think some of these variables are outdated/useless now and should be removed rather than documented? Would it be useful to open new issues for getenv Variables that cannot be used anymore?
