Thanks, I have only two: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
$ ls -la /etc/env.d/*xdg* |
| 23 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 Dec 18 11:24 /etc/env.d/30xdg-data-local |
| 24 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Dec 18 11:24 /etc/env.d/90xdg-data-base |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
and they contain: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
$ cat /etc/env.d/30xdg-data-local |
| 29 |
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share" |
| 30 |
COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
$ cat /etc/env.d/90xdg-data-base |
| 33 |
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share" |
| 34 |
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg" |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I assume these were installed by x11-misc/xdg-utils. Is that what they should |
| 37 |
contain? |

Any idea why E17 will not work with the generic application icons in the first |
| 40 |
hand and why changing these to absolute paths creates duplicate menu entries |
| 41 |
when logged into KDE (which is a rare occurrence for me anyway - but I'd like |
| 42 |
to understand how cross-desktop menus work). I find all this rather |
| 43 |
confusing. |
