I don't know the appimage design targets, but I thought it was supposed to be a
self-contained archive. Looking at system paths defeats that goal completely.
But it's also not something this project can fix, just work around. Prepending
the tmp dir to XDG_DATA_DIRS sounds like a good idea (snap already does it).

Looking at the meagre docs, plugins are supported, but they're whole projects
and none exist for something as simple as this. Another option are hooks,
though I don't know if they'd cut it:
https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/wiki/Plugin-system#apprun-hooks

The simplest and most foolproof option is to create a wrapper script to do the
extra export (eg. in build-kmymoney.sh). Upstream has yet another approach:
