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. >-- Rex -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
