My reasoning for choosing to prefix is as follows: we want the
application to find the data version that it was compiled with (GLib
schemas, ...) to avoid clashing with incompatible updates.  However,
we want to be able to extend the search path to add optional data not
available at compile time. If a user really wants to override one of
the compile time data path, he still has the possibility to use
XDG_DATA_HOME.

WDYT?

If we agree on the above, then I'm just waiting for an "OK to push" :-)

Thanks,
