look at environment variable

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

Red Hat has a customer that would like to use this feature.

nautilus currently hard codes .gnome2 instead of looking at the environment variable.

Comment 2 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-03-27 16:16:27 UTC 
What about use XDG config folder implementation instead?

Comment 3 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-04-09 11:09:31 UTC 
Ray: the patch is ok, but I think we should try to get rid of the .gnome2 folder altogether and use XDG config folders, as Javier says.
Comment 4 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-07-04 14:07:43 UTC 
We are hardcoding .gnome2 anyway, so let's get this into master for now.
