It wouldn't be a perfect solution, but you could just alter your dwm
cmd functions to call a script which set the environment correctly and
then execs the given command. Of course, this wouldn't work for
processes run from terminals unless you also ran them through this
script. But Unix doesn't have Plan 9's env(3), so solutions are
limited.
