I am totally confused about where in Mint 18.1 to actually set that variable. I looked in /etc/profiles, ~/.bashrc and others but no nice, pretty entry that says: "Set ENV here"!

Ideas?
If you just want to test running calibre with the variable set, you could start it from the command line:

# env CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=1 calibre
