Hi Eli,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it does. My current setup does not set XDG_CONFIG_HOME:

$ env | grep XDG
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
XDG_VTNR=2
XDG_SESSION_ID=2
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/gnome-xorg:/home/egh/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=gnome-xorg
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-gnome-xorg:/etc/xdg
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE=75b6b042b9ef4bbeadd2d4e309906074-1567206459.636260-109597368

But setting

$ export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/path/to/nowhere

fixes the issue.

best, Erik
