Thanks, I have only two:

$ ls -la /etc/env.d/*xdg*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 Dec 18 11:24 /etc/env.d/30xdg-data-local
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Dec 18 11:24 /etc/env.d/90xdg-data-base

and they contain:

$ cat /etc/env.d/30xdg-data-local 
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share"
COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS"

$ cat /etc/env.d/90xdg-data-base 
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share"
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg"

I assume these were installed by x11-misc/xdg-utils.  Is that what they should 
contain?

Any idea why E17 will not work with the generic application icons in the first 
hand and why changing these to absolute paths creates duplicate menu entries 
when logged into KDE (which is a rare occurrence for me anyway - but I'd like 
to understand how cross-desktop menus work).  I find all this rather 
confusing.
