Nope, it is last:
<prompt> echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/opt/trinity/share
I guess ffx is being thorough. (Or obsessive compulsive, or ...)

Makes sense!

I will admit that I haven't looked into them too closely. On my system
root's bashrc has just
source /etc/profile
Hmmm... did the TDE build scripts do that? (If so, that is a bit
antisocial and a bit peculiar.)

Huh. I just did a grep for wget, and I see that of the SBo
packages I have (I was just surprised to see there are 400 of them on my
system), about 10 or 15 do downloads. I stand corrected about the
unmitigated gall. :-)
Cheers.
