Apart from these, all environment variables are consistent between the two VMs.

Looks like nothing serious.

accessibility leftovers. Probably env var load from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ so should be deleted from #whonix-legacy.

• https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-legacy/blob/master/debian/whonix-legacy.preinst#L402

If so, could you rm -f it from there please?

Not sure what the ssh means or is coming from but probably similar and also remove?

Not worth delaying the Whonix 14 release but good to be cleaned up at some point.
