            Bug ID: 315452
           Summary: put /usr/local/share in front of /usr/share in
                    XDG_DATA_DIRS
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: gaudenz at debian.org

The startkde script sets the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable to
XDG_DATA_DIRS="`kde4-config --prefix`/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share" if the
variable is not set. The default if the variable is not set is to put
"/usr/local/share:/usr/share".
The startkde script should honour the preference of /usr/local over /usr so
that files provided by the system package managment can be locally overriden
without directly modifying them.
If the setting of XDG_DATA_DIRS in startkde is really necessary I suggest to
set it to "/usr/local/share:`kde4-config --prefix`/share:/usr/share". 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy a .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to
/usr/local/share/applications 
2. modify the applications name in /usr/local/share/applications (or any other
property in the file)
3.
Actual Results:  
The original name is shown instead of the modified one. 

Expected Results:  
The modified name should be shown in the menu.
