The branches attached solve this for me. I hope somebody from upstart
team can review them.

I'll try to put a ppa out with that patch in, such that other users that
are affected can also test this.

I expect to SRU this change to all stable releases.

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.
