I should have tested better. RESOURCES_PATH is incorrect, at least when the
binary is installed in a system dir.
It decides to give:
RESOURCES_PATH: /usr/local/bin/
It should probably give something in $XDG_DATA_DIRS, which one to pick is
probably a bit hard... maybe which ever one contains the org_name/app_name
dir?
