Yes indeed! I always forget about that possibility, thanks for reminding
it to me :)

I don't know if this is valid across all the linux distributions, but at
least on debian [1] I was able to do it.

Just create a .gnomerc file in your home directory with:

if [ -z "$XDG_DATA_DIRS" ]; then
        XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.local/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
else
        XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.local/share/:"$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
fi

then logout and login again.

[1] On debian SID the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable is initialized by this
script: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc
