---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Currently in the book, libxfce4util is not configured with
 --sysconfdir=/etc. This
 causes a problem because if the user has set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to anything
 besides
 /etc/xdg, XFCE will not be able to find the menu configuration there. If
 it's
 configured with --sysconfdir=/etc, it will hardcode a fallback path to
 /etc/xdg.
 As it is now, the fallback path is /usr/etc/xdg, which is empty.

 A more general discussion of problems in the book with the
 [http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ Base Directory
 Spec] can
 be found in #2172. This ticket just deals with the particular case in
 XFCE.
