Bug Description
exaile-0.3.0b1 running on linux2 (mandriva 2009.1)
after installing exaile using the default prefix of /usr/local, the plugins directory was not found on my system. this is because another application had already set XDG_DATA_DIRS, and the list of paths did not happen to include /usr/local/share.
i have fixed this by making sure XDG_DATA_DIRS is set properly in my bash_profile.
however, i think exaile should always enforce the inclusion of INSTALL_

We're just following the xdg spec exactly:
"If $XDG_DATA_DIRS is either not set or empty, a value equal to /usr/local/ share/: /usr/share/ should be used." - http:// standards. freedesktop. org/basedir- spec/basedir- spec-0. 6.html
If another application has broken that default, then it's not our place to fix that application.
