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.
