 The exact variables to add depend on what you use.  For instance, if you use
-Konsole, you may need to add KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION to the list.
+Konsole, you may need to add KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION and KONSOLE_VERSION to the
+list.
 
 Another alternative is to set |togglecursor_force| to the correct value for the
 terminal you use and skip autodetection.
