I see in http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.5.html that, "If $XDG_DATA_DIRS is either not set or empty, a value equal to /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/ should be used." but I'd like to know what library/.... is implementing this in or under gtk, so I can FIX it :-} I should mention that my /opt/xxx compile, is a sidegrade to older legacy stuff still living in /usr/share. So it's not okay to have the 'new' stuff default to checking there first :-( _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
