I'm trying to create a separate session for Qimo, based on xfce, but I
want to keep it's settings separate from xfce's settings (not just
separate defaults). I setup /etc/xdg/xdg-qimo, and
/usr/share/qimo/session that sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.qimo,
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-qimo, but still whenever I log in to the
Qimo Session, it puts xfconf in $HOME/.config/xfce4/, not
#HOME/.qimo/xfce4/ like I would expect, and where the rest of the Xfce
settings (desktop, panel, xfwm) are being put.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xfconf

I've been trying to port over all of the mythbuntu xfce settings to the new xfconf based setup and racking my head out.  I have checked, double checked, and even triple checked all syntax everywhere.

It then finally dawned upon me.  When you log into your session, xfconf appears to not care about any XDG environment variable that has been set up for you.  If I kill xfconfd and respawn it manually, xfconf-query suddenly knows all about these other missing variables.
