To test this feature, i've tried to mannually set the variable inside
the options.c file, using
setenv("XDG_DATA_DIRS","/usr/share/my_desktops",1);
I was abble to see the change inside the /var/log/uxlaunch.log file,
but the .desktop files are still comming from the default path.
Can you point me where in the code this was fixed?
Thanks.
