So further experimentation revealed that we should be keeping the DBUS
activation environment up to date with all the initctl set-env calls.

Thus initctl set-env calls should call into
org.freedesktop.DBus.UpdateActivationEnvironment in the user session
upstart case.

Bug description:
  upstart in user session manages environmental variables and most
  things have them, however Alt-f2 started proccesses lack them.

  to test

  Super Key -> "xterm" -> Enter -> env | grep SSH

  vs

  Alt+F2 -> "xterm" -> Enter -> env | grep SSH

  via Super Key -> the environment is correct

  via Alt-F2 -> it is not

  
  I believe Alt+F2 code path should call into upstart dbus api to "list-env" and import that environment before executing the search result.
