Not quite. I changed it so it takes either the run time or compile time value,
preferring the run time value:
+ echo
"XDG_DATA_DIRS=$(prefix)/share:{XDG_DATA_DIRS}:$(XDG_DATA_DIRS):/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/"

Right. Actually it uses the GLib key-value file parser to parse the file and
this requires semicolon delimiters between values. I changed the value for
XDG_DATA_DIRS to use ";" instead of ":". I also changed environment_override
in gnucash-bin.c to skip null values in path lists so a missing XDG_DATA_DIRS
won't clutter up the list.
I'll check these changes in later when I'm sure they work.
