Indeed these environments are different, but that is because any shell that is started through E gets appended its path to XDG_DATA_DIRS. Looking at a generic shell, it is set to the previous value. XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/mbagnara/.nix-profile/share:/etc/profiles/per-user/mbagnara/share:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/share:/run/current-system/sw/share. There is something about this path scheme that E doesn't like. I wonder if it has anything to do with following symlinks. >> On 09/06/2020, Carsten Haitzler <ras...@rasterman.com> wrote: >> > On Tue, 9 Jun 2020 01:16:19 +0000 Matt Bagnara <bagnaram...@gmail.com> >> > said: >> > >> > did you choose an icon theme? >> > settings->look->application theme->icons >> > ? >> > >> > how do you set XDG_DATA_DIRS? like in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession before >> > e >> > runs? >> > have you checked: >> > >> > strings /proc/`pidof enlightenment`/environ | grep XDG_DATA_DIRS >> > ? >> > >> >> Hi folks!
