Considering what XDG_DATA_DIRS was originally set to I would argue it should not be set at all in the first place. "/usr/share:/usr/share" really makes no sense and suggests misconfiguration.
If you set it somewhere like that you should unset it. If Suse set it, ask to remove/fix it. As I said before when XDG_DATA_DIRS is unset, glib will automatically look in /usr/share and /usr/local/share. So if these two are the only locations that matter, XDG_DATA_DIRS should be empty. By the way if you would have followed my other advice of installing in (for example) /opt rather than /usr/local the build process would have taken care of setting XDG_DATA_DIRS appropriately for you. It will not do this when you are installing in either /usr or /usr/local as these are special installation directories. But I'm glad you managed to get GnuCash running anyway.
