Bug Description
When I installed a program, that is supposed to be launched at startup, by building it from source using prefix=/usr/local, its .desktop file ended up in /usr/local/
Even if I fixed the problem with a symlink from ~/.config/
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS.
affects: | ubuntu → gnome-session (Ubuntu) |

I am looking at:
http:// standards. freedesktop. org/basedir- spec/basedir- spec-latest. html
The "plural" use of "$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" suggests maybe multiple directories can be specified for /etc/xdg, but the specification does not itself come out and say so, as it does clearly in the case of "$XDG_DATA_DIRS". So it may be possible to set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to multiple paths. You can also change this using the ~/.profile of your current user account to directly set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.
