Description

sugar-toolkit commit 7b485120a3 resulted in XDG_DATA_DIRS being used to launch /usr/share/library-common/make_index.py.

XDG_DATA_DIRS is not set in the environment, both on 708 and joyride. Should we set it in e.g. /usr/bin/olpc-session, change sugar-toolkit, or what? i note that http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.5.html says: 

 If $XDG_DATA_DIRS is either not set or empty, a value equal to /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/ should be used.

If we are violating the spec and by complying we would be fixing this ticket, then I think we need to do what the spec says and fall back to /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/ ?
