Take a look at /etc/env.d/*xdg*, which should be about 3 files.  Note
that if you modify any files in that directory, you need to run
env-update for the changes to take effect; you will also need to logout
and login again.

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.

Yes, I noticed that later.  It solves a long-standing bug that affected
Evolution. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266018

Yes, those look typical, but invalid.  Did you notice that the second
script clobbers the value of XDG_DATA_DIRS that was set in the first?

I don't run Enlightenment.

[gentoo-user] XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS env variables with E17

[Mick]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: Text/Plain, Size: 534 bytes --]

Where are being these set?

I currently have:

$ echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
/etc/xdg

$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/usr/local/share:/usr/share

I'm asking because although Enlightenment-17 picks up the kde menu from there, 
it does not seem to recognise the respective application icons.  If I set the 
icons manually with absolute paths (e.g. 
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/48x48/apps/knode.png, instead of the generic 
knode.png) then I end up with duplicate menu entries for each application when 
I launch kde.

See /etc/env.d/30xdg-data-local and /etc/env.d/90xdg-data-base.

Go to settings->settings panel.

In the "Look" category find the "Icon Theme" option.

Set you icon theme to Oxygen.


For the duplicates:

Check ~/.local/share/applications/ 
You should find the .desktop files of the applications you changed to
absolute paths,
kde is probably picking up these and the system ones in
/usr/share/applications.
The ~/.local ones should not be needed

YES!  That fixed the missing icons E17 menu problem and the duplicates in the 
KDE menu.

Thank you very much!  :-)
