#3740: The GRASS session is "leaking" to the environment

 After closing the GRASS GUI the user account's local env is not being
 restored. E.g.

 {{{
 $ echo $PATH
 /home/pmav99/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/xpra:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

 $ which python
 /usr/bin/python

 $ cat src2/grass/run_gui.sh
 #!/usr/bin/env bash
 #
 # Run the GRASS GUI, after activating the virtualenv

 # the 'dirname readlink' line finds the directory where this script is
 located.
 # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59895/getting-the-source-directory-
 of-a-bash-script-from-within
 GRASS_SRC="$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))"

 source "${GRASS_SRC}"/venv/bin/activate
 exec "${GRASS_SRC}"/bin.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/grass77

 $ src2/grass/run_gui.sh

 $ echo $PATH
 /home/pmav99/.local/bin:/home/pmav99/src2/grass/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-

 $ which python
 /home/pmav99/src2/grass/venv/bin/python
 }}}

 As you can see $PATH has changed. Is this by design? Shouldn't the
 original session be completely restored?

 PS. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I couldn't find anything
 relevant.
