Title:
  dbus call needed to set multiple environment variables in a single
  pass

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently, app launching on the Ubuntu phone involves setting multiple
  environment variables with the SetEnv dbus call.  The GetEnv call only
  takes one variable (key,value) at a time.  As a result, the
  marshalling of the individual calls (and waiting for upstart's
  response) is reported to have a measurable impact on application
  startup time.

  We should investigate having a dbus call that allows setting multiple
  environment variables at once, to reduce this overhead.
