           Summary: Meld-3.22.2 fails to start with errormessagebox
                    (retrieves incorrect path via XDG_DATA_HOME env var)
           Product: Wine

                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

This very newest version of Meld fails with a FileNotFound error.

Workaround: XDG_DATA_HOME="" wine Meld.exe

Similar bug like https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49987 which was about
XDG_DATA_DIRS. You also need the patch from that bug

Problem: XDG_DATA_HOME is also used in recycle.bin and winemenubuilder.

I gues we need a more general solution/rewrite ?

--- Comment #1 from Maotong Zhang  ---
The application did indeed read XDG_DATA_DIRS, filtering out XDG_DATA_DIRS is
feasible, but it is unclear if there are any other impacts.
winemenubuilder requires XDG_DATA_DIRS to create MIME types, and I feel that
removing XDG_DATA_DIRS should not have any impact. It may need to be tested and
verified.
