the problem was with GTK- and pango hard-codig some configuration files they install into sysconfdir (livesupport/usr/etc). now these files are copied and customized during installation to reflect the install directory. the gLiveSupport executable is told about the location of these files via the GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE and PANGO_RC_FILE environment variables, in the startup script bin/gLiveSupport.sh
