It doesn't ignore it. If you read the code in bonobo_ui_util_get_ui_fname,
 you'll note that it looks at the component_datadir variable, and adds on 
"/gnome/ui/" and then the file name. If that doesn't work, then it falls 
back to BONOBO_UIDIR.

The path that's passed tells Bonobo which datadir to look in. If 
everything is installed in the "/usr" prefix, then it's always "/usr/share"
. But if Bonobo is installed in "/usr" and a test program is installed in 
"/test-program", then the code needs to also look in "/test-program/share/
gnome/ui" for the test program's UI xml files.
