This should be allowed to be customized.
I don't like having to patch ROX, GTK and other software for things like:
--- gtk/xdgmime/xdgmime.c.orig 2005-08-07 15:32:27.000000000 +0200
+++ gtk/xdgmime/xdgmime.c

xdg_data_dirs = getenv ("XDG_DATA_DIRS");
if (xdg_data_dirs == NULL)
- xdg_data_dirs = "/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/";
+ xdg_data_dirs = PREFIX "/share/";
ptr = xdg_data_dirs;
Almost all autoconf configure-based software allows customization like
this. Why does this spec have to be so hard-coded^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdifficult?
