Setting XDG Base directory environment variables

[muzhogg]

Hi all,

The XDG Base Directory Specification makes reference to a number of environment variables defining the paths for various base directories;

$XDG_DATA_HOME
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME
$XDG_DATA_DIRS
etc....

Can anybody advise where these environment variables are actually set?

Thanks.

Hi..
In my .bash_profile, I have these exports (for kde-34-LE2006):
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/var/lib/menu-xdg
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/var/lib/menu-xdg/simplified:/usr/share

&:
KDEHOME=/home/~/.kde
but no:
XDG_DATA_HOME
XDG_CONFIG_HOME

To be continued... Some help, please..
selim,b.
