Xfce4 adds a few Capitalized directories in a user's ~/ when it's installed. I've never used them and had no problems deleting them until now: the Desktop directory (755 perms) will not be removed either by me or by root. It has 2 hardlinks: the current and parent directories.
The xfce mail list is very quiet; no posts since I rejoined yesterday. My web searches haven't found a reason why a directory owned by me and in the users group cannot be removed. A clue stick will be appreciated. TIA, Rich
