Public bug reported:
debian patches the script /usr/bin/startlxde to reset env variable
XDG_DATA_DIRS to some preset directories. [1]
this bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906288
can also be fixed when creating a new file
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55debian-xdg-menus
containing
# set XDG_DATA_DIRS to include debian menu dirs
new_dirs="/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/usr/share/gdm/:/var/lib/menu-
xdg/"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS
if [ -z "$XDG_DATA_DIRS" ]; then
XDG_DATA_DIRS="${new_dirs}"
else
XDG_DATA_DIRS="${XDG_DATA_DIRS}:${new_dirs}"
fi
and removing the patch
https://sources.debian.org/patches/lxde-common/0.99.2-3/03-menu-xdg.patch/
This would be more clean and match the behavior of snap as well as
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20flatpak
thus rendering /usr/bin/lxsession or lxpanel able to find .desktop files placed
beneath their respective XDG_DATA_DIRS paths.
Also icons are visible after this as well, that would be missing when just
adding symlinks within
~/.local/share/applications .
This bug regards binary package openbox-lxde-session.
