           Summary: No .local/share in XFCE_RESSOURCE_DATA
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.6.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: corsac at debian.org


Hey,

sorry I couldn't set the component to libxfce4util.

I was investigating the problem with the mime.cache format change (see for
example http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518250) and was trying
to see how thunar was affected.

I'm not yet sure about the systems dirs, but it seems that the local dirs
aren't just used.

Thunar sets a mime.cache file in every folder returned by xfce_resource_dirs
(XFCE_RESOURCE_DATA). And when looking in libxfce4util, that means:

- $XDG_DATA_DIRS (exported here to
/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/:/usr/share) or
DEFAULT_XDG_DATA_DIRS ($(datadir):/usr/local/share:/usr/share)
- DATADIR ($(datadir))

I'm not exactly sure if libxfce4util should take care of adding .local/share to
the list, or if it should be set in $XDG_DATA_DIRS but I guess the former.

Not sure I understood exactly all the issue, but it looks weird to me.
