I don't see this as a large problem.  Apps that are installed in private 
locations -- "/opt/<app_name>" or "/usr/share/<app_name>" -- have to 
start with a shell (e.g. Firefox & OpenOffice) that sets environment 
variables.  So, it is going to add: "$PREFIX/share" to the beginning of 
the XDG_DATA_DIRS list.  So, there is only going to be *one* additional 
path to search for a given app.
