That's one problem. XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should be getting defined from
/etc/kde/env/env.sh (if using FC stock packaging)
AFAIK I am. The /etc/kde/env/env.sh contains:
---
# from
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/
# XDG_CONFIG_DIRS: where to look for menu config(s)
if [ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}" ] ; then
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/kde/xdg:/etc/xdg
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
fi
---
From man bash:
-z string
True if the length of string is zero.
Since its zero, as in doesn't exist at that point, common sense says that
this script, _if_ its being exec'd, should properly set it. But it
apparently doesn't. I can set another junk var and export it to test I
think. This would require an x restart I'd think.
I added
JUNQUE_VAR=123456789;export JUNQUE_VAR above the if [conditional], then
restarted x. Its is not visible in an env report. This I believe
confirms that it is not being exec'd at a startx instant.
Where do we go from here, Rex?
Many thanks, I know you're busy.
or
/etc/kde/env/xdg-menu.sh (if using kde-redhat packaging).
This file is (should be!) owned by kdebase rpm.
According to yumex's file listing for kdebase, yes.
and:
[root@coyote ~]# ls -l /etc/kde/env/env.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 257 Dec 1 17:22 /etc/kde/env/env.sh
An ls -lZ of it returns 3 inches of blank space where the filetype
normally shows, apparently a victim of vim as I added the JUNQUE_VAR
stuff just now.
