[SOLVED] Applications depending on GTK don't launch from terminal.

Hello everyone,
So, I was experimenting with themes and ended up getting rid of Numix, and the Numix-Light directories in hope of resetting my icon themes.

It broke my GTK applications.
I'm no longer able to launch my GTK Applications through the terminal, but, they seem to work when I launch them through rofi or the Qtile Spawn.

I seem to also have two methods to launch the Qtile WM, through LightDM and through the xinitrc.
The GTK applications work when I launch it through the startx command on tty, but, the LightDM session causes issues.

This is the error that pops up when I try to run lxappearance.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Applications depending on GTK don't launch from terminal.

Please edit your post and wrap the outputs in "code" tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Then compare the outputs of

loginctl session-status
printenv

from either case (lightdm and init)

Re: [SOLVED] Applications depending on GTK don't launch from terminal.

Thank you for your response.
I didn't know how to wrap it in code tags, I've edited the post appropriately.
I've executed both the commands, and here are the outputs,

Output for loginctl session-status,

You probably set the bogus path in your fishrc (which is why rofi is unaffected)?

Re: [SOLVED] Applications depending on GTK don't launch from terminal.

You're a lifesaver, thank you!
I never even gave the fishrc a consideration, it works absolutely fine now.

[ SOLUTION ]
Removed the line that defined the XDG_DATA_DIRS in my fishrc configuration.
