[Bug 1499650] [NEW] local applications are not shown in menu (LXDE)

[Alek_A]

Public bug reported:

hi,

/usr/bin/startlxde implicitly sets XDG_DATA_DIRS:

export
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/:/var/lib
/menu-xdg/"

so the value passed from ltsp through this variable discarded.
I had to patch /usr/bin/startlxde, to make it work:

export
XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/:/var/lib
/menu-xdg/"

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:        14.04

best regards,
Albert
