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? > Do you need anything else for the review? If we agree on the above, then I'm just waiting for an "OK to push" :-) Thanks, Fede
