Bug Description

See upstream bug : https://github.com/lxde/lxde-qt/issues/349

lxqt always read the settings from /etc/xdg/lxqt, even if others directories are set on XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

For example, on Lubuntu, we have :
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/lubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-QLubuntu:/etc/xdg
Custom settings on /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxqt
lxqt default settings on /etc/xdg/lxqt

On a fresh start, the settings on /etc/xdg/lxqt are set, instead of /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxqt

One weird note, pcmanfm-qt works, but we have :
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/lubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-QLubuntu:/etc/xdg
Custom settings on /etc/xdg/lubuntu/pcmanfm-qt
No default settings on /etc/xdg/pcmanfm-qt

Maybe it's the last directory (with a content) on XDG_CONFIG_DIRS which is set, instead of the first one ?

On further investigation from Julien, this seems to be an Xorg bug; $DESKTOP_SESSION therefore $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS isn't set correctly.
