[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] main: Fix environment handling for UI module imports

[Richard Purdie]

The environment was being cleared before the UI imports occurred which
caused problems for graphical UIs like taskexp. The full environment was
intended to be available to UI clients and it was only meant to be cleared
for the server/cooker, so tweak the code order so this is the case.

This fixes problems reported for taskexp.
