In tcsh (and csh)

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center

results in "

Using "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME: Command not found."

tcsh (and csh) use a "setenv NAME value" syntax to set environment
variables.

setenv XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP GNOME gnome-control-center

results in "setenv: Too many arguments."

So I read some bash stuff and realized that

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center

has the dual purpose of setting an environment variable and launching a
program.

In tcsh (and csh) one would need a semicolon after "GNOME", or two
lines:

setenv XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP GNOME; gnome-control-center

setenv XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP GNOME
gnome-control-center
