[SailfishDevel] Running application with customized environment using invoker

[Dmitriy Purgin]

Hi Andrey,

I was referring to launching the application with .desktop files. As you
surely know these reside in /usr/share/applications and are used to display
applications to user, so that the user could run the application by
clicking on its icon in Launcher view. I'm talking about changing
environment of app deployed at end-user device.

Regards
Dmitriy Purgin
