Looks like we can use similar wrappers for all GTK tools, including
gnumeric, geeqie, gnucash etc. Those are the ones that crash on me
without XDG_DATA_DIRS. At this point I use alias on my Debian based
system:

alias gnucash='env XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share gnucash'
alias gnumeric='env XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share gnumeric'
