Only those applications that properly comply with standards :)

For instance, glib did not start respecting ${HOME} until version 2.36 if I remember right; before that, unset XDG_* variables would cause g_get_user_cache_dir() etc. to fall back to something under /root/ no matter where ${HOME} pointed. Which is the main reason why gnome2_environment_reset() was created.
