Hello,
I'd like to know how are defined the folders that contains .desktop files
for the system to read. I want to create a directory with higher priority
than /usr/share/applications, but unlike other distros (and according to
freedesktop standards), it didn't apply by just setting the environment
variable XDG_DATA_DIRS. Is there any other way to do that?
there's a known bug in uxlaunch (well, it's a design issue really) where
it does not do any environment setup at all when it starts the users X
session: subsequently, the panel parts run without any XDG_DATA_DIRS set
in their environments.
We fixed this recently in git, but this change will likely not go out to
older releases. You can verify this by starting a terminal WITHOUT
making it "a login shell" and looking at your environment - it will
likely not have XDG_DATA_DIRS set. You can also look at
/var/log/uxlaunch.log.
apart from this fix, I don't know whether the panel does the right thing
at this time, which would be a new bug.
you can pull uxlaunch from git.moblin.org and manually try the new
version to check if that fixes the issue for you.
Cheers,
Auke
