Bug ID: 415770
Summary: Environment variable 'GTK2_RC_FILES' is ignored
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.17.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_gtk
Assignee: aleix...@gmail.com
Reporter: oguilhe...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The kcm_gtk system component currently ignores the GTK2_RC_FILES environment
variable and hardcodes reading/writing to ~/.gtkrc-2.0. I personally have the
GTK2_RC_FILES variable set to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in order to avoid
cluttering my home directory.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the terminal.
2. Backup your current ~/.gtkrc-2.0: (Don't forget to restore it afterwards! :)
> mv ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/.gtkrc-2.0.bak
3. Point GTK2_RC_FILES to your backup file:
> export GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-2.0.bak
4. Launch Plasma's GTK config.:
> kcmshell5 kde-gtk-config
OBSERVED RESULT
kde-gtk-config still tries to read from ~/.gtkrc-2.0 instead of
~/.gtkrc-2.0.bak.
EXPECTED RESULT
kde-gtk-config should respect the GTK2_RC_FILES variable when reading/writing
to the GTK2 config file.
