launching gnome-control-center from i3wm #427

we need gnome-control-center to think it's been launched in a valid gnome session, otherwise the app will not load properly

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="GNOME-Flashback:GNOME" && gnome-control-center

it seems as long as the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP var has gnome somewhere in the name, the gnome-control-center app runs
