Hi! The trick is that etc/profile exports environment variables for the packages that explicitly consume them, not for packages that are consumed by others.
I don't know about Xfce, so I'll give you an example with pkg-config: if you install just webkitgtk to a profile, its lib/pkgconfig/*.pc files won't be detected by a `pkg-config` executable (that comes from a different profile). If you include `pkg-config` itself in the profile, then the profile *.pc files will be found. I suppose that for Xfce you need to install a component that looks up XDG_DATA_DIRS. Hope that helps! -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
