You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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.
