Hey people, Xfce 4.6 is to be released soon, and I'm tuning the way Xfce uses our custom, desktop-base branding. Currently I manually (through a patch) add /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config to the folders looked by the libxfce4util library.
This is not really robust, and may break. The correct way to do that is to use XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, but I don't really know where to do that if I want to support different way to start Xfce (through a DM, directly from console etc.) At the moment we are the only one using /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config but basically having an XDG folder in desktop-base makes sense, so other people might want to use it, and it could be convenient to add it to XDG_CONFIG_DIR globally. What would you think if I added (in desktop-base) a /etc/X11/Xsession.d/desktop-base which would do something like: export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config:/etc/xdg (more or less). That way, every application storing settings with XDG compliant paths could benefit of the Debian branding (well, kind-of). What do you think?
