There is a problem with kde-xdg-env in that it adds a duplicate path
entry to XDG_DATA_DIRS when LOCALBASE =3D=3D KDE_PREFIX.  This triggers
memory corruption in the xdgmime code used by GTK+ and gnome-vfs, and
can lead to strange crashes in apps like Firefox and Thunderbird.

This patch corrects this problem and adds a missing
LOCALBASE/share/gnome path to XDG_DATA_DIRS.  May I commit, or would one
of you do the honors?  Thanks.
