Hey,

sorry I couldn't set the component to libxfce4util.

I was investigating the problem with the mime.cache format change (see for example http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518250) and was trying to see how thunar was affected.

I'm not yet sure about the systems dirs, but it seems that the local dirs aren't just used.

Thunar sets a mime.cache file in every folder returned by xfce_resource_dirs (XFCE_RESOURCE_DATA). And when looking in libxfce4util, that means:

- $XDG_DATA_DIRS (exported here to /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/:/usr/share) or DEFAULT_XDG_DATA_DIRS ($(datadir):/usr/local/share:/usr/share)
- DATADIR ($(datadir))

I'm not exactly sure if libxfce4util should take care of adding .local/share to the list, or if it should be set in $XDG_DATA_DIRS but I guess the former.

Not sure I understood exactly all the issue, but it looks weird to me.
