hicolor-icon-theme is installed below $xfce_prefix/share as well. I'm
using /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc in my .xinitrc to start xfce via
my login manager (slim). I see that XDG_DATA_DIRS gets set in startxfce4
but not in xinitrc - so what is the "correct" way of starting xfce from a
graphical login manager?
