I have just verified, that system path is now searched by default as last in resort.
But I do not see your problem - you can still install /etc/profile.d/zzzgtk2.sh to override defaults.
There is only tight difference: With current settings, system plugins take precedence. With shortened path, plugins in home will take precendence.
That's right, and I think it's not a good idea to have system plugins always taking precedence: it makes it impossible to test other plugins without installing them in your home, in /usr/local or in /usr. And someone hacking gtk+ won't do any of those three options, IMHO.
It is possible to do proposed change.
It is also possible to auto-resource /opt/*/lib/gtk-2.0, like other *PATH do.
It won't help people like me who have a jhbuilt gnome in another prefix, unfortunately. (a workaround can still be to unset GTK_PATH, of course) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
