I search a little, it seems xfce4 which sets XDG_CONFIG_DIRS in the script /usr/bin/startxfce4. Do you think it is an incorrect choice by xfce to set this variable, or maybe they should also append your qtchooser directories? It is a problem that qmake and other executables aren't working. Nevertheless, it is difficult for me to suggest how to resolve. -- Greg Sharp gregsh...@geocities.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
