Xcode and environment.plist
For some reason I always launch certain applications via Spotlight as opposed to just dragging them to the dock and clicking on them there. One such application is Xcode. I’m not in Xcode every day (I’m normally writing stuff in Java and use Eclipse) so I guess it kinda makes sense.
Anyway… Apparently, if you start Xcode via Spotlight your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file isn’t read. No doubt, something to do with how processes are launched via Spotlight. (Or rather, who launches them.) I didn’t dig any deeper because I’ve got some work to do. 
So there you have it.
