Thanks!

You need to check in two steps:

1. In Terminal type:

defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment


If you get an error-message like:

The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist


Everything is ok!


After this check step 2:

2. In Terminal type:

defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES


If you get an error-message like:

The domain/default pair of (/Users/peter/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist


Everything is ok!


That's it!
