+Subject: [PATCH] GDesktopAppInfo: Do not set the DISPLAY in gio
+
+The environment variable DISPLAY makes sense only for X11, it should
+not be set in gio.
+
+Beside, if the backend is not X11 but Wayland, forcing the value of
+DISPLAY to the Wayland display will confuse the backend selection and
+possibly crash the applications.
