Hi,

/usr/bin/startxfce4 seems to override existing xdg data directories by
prepending @_datadir_@ to it (see line 37 of scripts/startxfce4.in).

According to the xdg spec
(<http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>), the
first directory in the list is the most important one, so @_datadir_@ became
the most important one, and any existing one, set, e.g., by the distributor is
"overridden".

Thus, I guess that:
  XDG_DATA_DIRS="@_datadir_@:$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
should be replaced by
  XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:@_datadir_@"

Thanks!
