This behaviour does not make any sense whatsoever: It overrides an
internal, qtchooser-specific configuration variable using a variable
intended for *global* configuration, hence it expects its own
configuration to be immediately in the root of global configuration,
however it *installs* its own configuration in a completely different
location. If this were the "standard", changing XDG_CONFIG_DIRS would
require listing the configuration directories of all installed
applications.
However this is obviously an upstream bug, so you cannot do much about
it - I'll probably work around it locally (e.g. by adding
/usr/share/qtchooser/ to the config directories, even though it is not
a global configuration directory) and keep in mind that apparently,
these environment variables are not meant to be useful in any from,
according to Qt upstream. :(
Kind regards,
Ralf
