<para>The <ulink

url="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/basedir-spec">XDG Base
|
|
Directory</ulink> specification defines the standard locations for
|
|
applications to place data and configuration files. These files can
|
|
be used, for instance, to define the menu structure and menu items
|
|
in a desktop environment.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The default location for configuration files to be installed
|
|
is <filename class="directory">/etc/xdg</filename>, and the default
|
|
locations for data files are <filename
|
|
class="directory">/usr/local/share</filename> and <filename
|
|
class="directory">/usr/share</filename>. These locations can be
|
|
extended with the environment variables <envar>XDG_CONFIG_DIRS</envar>
|
|
and <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar>, respectively. The
|
|
<application>GNOME</application>, <application>KDE</application> and
|
|
<application>XFCE</application> environments respect respect these
|
|
settings. Update the <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar> (if necessary) and
|
|
<envar>XDG_CONFIG_DIRS</envar> environment variables so that the
|
|
additional MIME-types application databases and desktop menu files are
|
|
properly maintained and discovered by adding the following to the

system-wide or personal profile:</para>
