    Hello,

    This is a follow up from an older thread by leio in the mailing
    list: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/bf36c4c50f9c15db222faa6a66b0c6c9

    The problem is that, at present time, we are getting more and more
    bugs
    coming from flatpak users that get build failures due to having
    those
    variables "polluted".

    Personally, I would opt for unsetting them too and properly set
    them to
    known values for packages needing it. But I am unsure if we could
    probably do a tinderbox run to find&fix packages needing them to be
    set
    :-/

    I'm not really familiar with the packages that require these
    variables. I agree with the idea in principle though.

    It seems like x11-libs/gtk+ is one example given by leio. How would
    we
    fix that one? Can the same strategy be applied to similar ebuilds?

    Another possible idea would be to source /etc/profile.env in a
    subshell and pick out the relevant XDG variables in
    xdg_environment_reset.

    Hi!

    I have locally tried to append XDG_DATA_DIRS & XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to
    ENV_UNSET and x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.42-r1 looks to compile properly.

    I would then try to do a tinderbox run with they unset, if few packages
    are affected, we can set them to their expected values in relevant
    ebuilds. If there are many, maybe we can try to rely on
    xdg_environment_reset for more standardization.

    Regards
