+Description: Exit when there is no HOME environment variable
+ The home directory is used in multiple places without checking
+ whether it is non-NULL. I think that it is very unlikely for
+ someone to want to use this program without that variable in
+ the environment, so we just bail out if it is missing.
+ .
+ If anyone wants gtk-theme-switch2 to work without a HOME
+ environment variable, they will surely file a bug about this.
