Hmmmm...  I am not compiling my program within a jhbuild shell.  I get a 
bunch of problems if I try to do that.  And setting the $XDG_DATA_DIRS 
either in the bash shell or in the Makefile does not seem to work.  If I 
put gtk_icon_theme_get_search_path() in my code and print the result it 
gives me /Users/jim/.local/share/icons which does not exist.  I am not 
sure why the compiled code gives this path as it is not in my 
environment variables anywhere.  ??
