Description

At some point, it may be wise to review the $EDITOR/$VISUAL default stuff that is being shipped for nano & Co. and test that graphical front-ends (i.e. stuff that require Qt or similar) are not set as the default unless a desktop env is running.

This should probably be filed as an issue. I'm certainly not going to remember it xD

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Review the shipped-by-default $EDITOR/$VISUAL settings for nano and other editors, then check that graphical front-ends requiring Qt or similar are not selected unless a desktop environment is running; done means the defaults are consistent with that rule.
