Description:

The recent update to kde-common changed the profile script so that it sets XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS. These are not set by default, and thus cause gnome/gtk to not be able to find icons, gtksourceview to not be able to find language specs, etc.

To fix this, there should be a gnome profile script that sets XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to something usable. I can write this, if wanted.

* kde-common 3.5.7-1, kde-libs 3.5.7-5

Steps to reproduce:
* Install/upgrade kde-common
* Confirm that $XDG_DATA_DIRS is /opt/kde/share or something similar, once profile script is loaded
* Start GNOME, and observe massive breakage
This task depends upon

IMO XDG support should be uniform for KDE, Gnome and Xfce.
BTW, do we already use xdg-utils for something?

there's a /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh script that sets these XDG_* variables. The file is in xproto in extra, or in libx11 in testing (the file moved). It could be that you have xproto from testing installed together with libx11 from current, in that case your file is missing.
