Occurs during:
* Ubuntu Gutsy upgrade to Hardy beta
* Ubuntu 8.04.1 routine updates
* Ubuntu 8.04.1 upgrade to Intrepid beta
After upgrading, this dialog appears:
Update standard folders to current language?
You have logged in in a new language. You can automatically update
the names of some standard folders in your home folder to match this
language. The update would change the following folders:
Current folder name: New folder name:
/home/jamie /home/jamie/Videos
Note that existing content will not be moved.
WTF? (My home directory _is_ /home/jamie). What is this trying to do?
Will it rename my home directory? Or is it just updating default
directory where Nautilus searches? Or where downloaded files are
saved?? (There's no Help button, btw.)
The only sane thing is to say "No, thanks" (i.e. "Keep old names").
Perhaps that's the wrong answer, but the dialog text isn't clear about
what this change does, so I'd be foolish to say yes.
Either (1) this shouldn't appear and show those paths, it's a bug, or
(2) this dialog is correct, but the text should be better at saying that
it's safe and merely changes default paths of no great consequence.
