It does seem to be the only environment variable to allow for a different location for themes. It also doesn’t seem to negatively affect anything else. (‘_gtk_get_data_prefix ()’ still returns the compile-time prefix and is used to find ‘settings.ini’.) GTK_DATA_PREFIX is not a search path, so it’s expected that only one directory can be specified. Is this a problem? ~~ Ricardo
