77645 - Need the ability to turn off XIE from an environment variable.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect, P3)

Description

[Stuart Parmenter]

We need to be able to turn off the use of XIE with an environment variable.
Users of things like NCD X terminals, that don't have licenses for XIE, pop up a
dialog blocking the process from continuing waiting for a license to become
available (which most likely won't ever happen).

ok, i've checked this in (on the trunk and branch).   I made 1 small change
which was to change the env var from MOZ_NO_XIE to MOZ_DISABLE_XIE (which made a
little more sense to me...).

so in bash:
export MOZ_DISABLE_XIE=1

or *csh
setenv MOZ_DISABLE_XIE 1

setting back to 0.9 to reflect reality

[Syd Logan]

or in ksh (bash likes this too, and girls think it is sophisticated):

typeset -x MOZ_DISABLE_XIE=1

:-)
