Does Xfce follow the xdg specification? If so, you can see how xdg
specifies how it is done. I don't recall everything off the top of my
head but there is a an environment variable (probably best set
via /etc/environment as not all DEs invoke .bashrc or .profile). Mine
is set to
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/data/.Common/xdg/default:/usr/share:/usr/local/share::/opt/trinity/share/:/usr/share/
The part I don't remember is how to set up file associations in those
hierarchical directories but the XDG site must have that information. At
least I hope so because we'll need it in the next iteration of our
desktop! Hope this helps - John
