[Bug]: Not Loading the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS Environment Variable #2970

Description

Current Behavior

When I run "echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" nothing is returned.

Expected Behavior

Running echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should print the results of loading /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path. In my case, as I am running the KDE desktop, that would include a mention of "plasma" somewhere.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Running the latest Kubuntu LTS version, run "echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" from the command line.
  2. It should result in something like: /home/myuser/.config/kdedefaults:/etc/xdg/xdg-plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings
  3. The reason I noticed this is the results of running fastfetch or neofetch shows the OS as being Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu.
