Hi,

Alexander Krotov <krotov <at> iitp.ru> skribis:

> If $XDG_DATA_DIRS is unset, default value of "/usr/local/share:/usr/share"
> is used according to XDG Base Directory Specification. However,
> /etc/profile.d/guix.sh treats this value as empty list when appending its
> own directory, so after installing Guix on the system, launchers such
> as Rofi stop searching for .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/
> and can't launch applications other than those installed with Guix.
>
> This patch fixes the bug in generated /etc/profile.d/guix.sh
>
> * etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Use default value of
>   /usr/local/share:/usr/share/ before appending if $XDG_DATA_DIRS is not
>   set.

Good catch.  Applied, thanks!
