I don't know if Unity respects ${XDG_DATA_DIRS}, but I hope so. If it does:
then perhaps because you have to treat ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} specially, as I
explained in other posts.
There are various ways to go about this:
a) make foreign distro project change the behavior of Xsession.d scripts
that set ${XDG_DATA_DIRS}.
b) make (a) but only locally.
c) make ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} be changed specially instead of the usual
"${VAR:+:}$VAR" recommendation.
If you want to know more, search in all GNU Guix mailing lists about
"adfeno XDG_DATA_DIRS".
