Hi,

while checking the Nix patches for qtbase, I discovered that they have a
patch to extend XDG_DATA_DIRS and GIO_EXTRA_MODULES.

They basically do this:

  XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:{gtk3}/share/gsettings-schemas/${gtk3.name}

  GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=$GIO_EXTRA_MODULES:${dconf.lib}/lib/gio/modules

What do you think about adding native-search-path entries for these
directories?

We have those in the glib package.  Or did you mean adding them to
‘qtbase’?  We’d need to apply the same patch as Nixpkgs so that these
variables are honored by Qt, right?
