Details

xproto seems to create a file called /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh which sets the XDG_DATA_DIRS;

if [ -z $XDG_DATA_DIRS ]; then
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share

I'm currently trying to install a package which installs data files to /usr/local/share (as prefix=/usr/local) by default. However, as it uses g_get_system_data_dirs to find where these files are, it cannot find them, and therefore fails at runtime.

As, I think, /usr/local/share, is a reasonable place for non-pacman installed data files to be stored, the export line should have :/usr/local/share appended to it.
This task depends upon
