Comment 2 for bug 344727

I should mention that this is likely the problem most people are having when they say their applications don't show up in gnome-do searches (from the gnome menu). This is most definitely a problem in Fedora 10 (with 0.8.x) where XDG_DATA_DIRS doesn't seem to be defined.

As a workaround you can put this line near the top of /usr/bin/gnome-do.

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/local/share
