        <para>So that <application>GNOME</application> can find the desktop
        configuration files, ensure you set the <envar>XDG_CONFIG_DIRS</envar>
        environment variable in the individual user's profiles, or in the system
        profile (use this option if you will be running
        <application>GDM</application>) as shown below (you may add additional
        directories, separated with colons, if desired):</para>

<screen role='root'><userinput>echo "export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GNOME_SYSCONFDIR/xdg" \

        <title>XDG_DATA_DIRS Variable</title>

        <para>So that <application>GNOME</application> can find the data
        to populate the menus, ensure you set the <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar>
        environment variable in the individual user's profiles, or in the system
        profile as shown below (you may add additional directories, separated
        with colons, if desired):</para>

        <title>PYTHONPATH Variable</title>

        <para>If your <application>GNOME</application> installation prefix is
        anything other than <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>
        you need to update the
        <envar>PYTHONPATH</envar> environment variable so that the
        <filename>gmenu</filename> module can be located by
        <application>Python</application>. Set the variable in the system
        profile, or in individual user's profiles as shown below:</para>
