look at environment variable

libgnome supports relocating the .gnome2 directory with an environment variable.

Red Hat has a customer that wants to use this feature.

gnome-panel currently hardcodes .gnome2 instead of looking at the environment variable.

Thanks, feel free to request a hard code freeze break and commit, or commit once we're not frozen anymore.
Comment 2 Pablo Castellano (IRC: pablog) 2010-05-14 19:47:15 UTC 
AFIAK it can be committed now.

look at environment variable

I've commited it now as 0a6519b5bf0cbb2b76dead44df4d1f3704b6cc5b

Not sure if this will get changed again for gnome 3. Probably makes sense to do XDG user dirs instead or something.
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2010-10-18 18:51:55 UTC 
Thanks! I think this bug can be closed now? Or do you want to keep it open for the XDG user dirs support?
