It sounds like your XDG_DESKTOP_DIR has somehow changed to point to the
home directory. And when that happens zsh will trigger bug 1815550. So
this is a duplicate of bug 1815550.
To find out why the desktop and home directories are mixed though, check
the contents of your:
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Title:
Desktop contains icons of home dir files
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I always disable desktop icons via Tweaks (or 'gsettings set
org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false'). Today, I
turned on the computer and the icons were there - not only from the
"~/Desktop" directory, but all of the icons from my home folder. The
icons cannot be turned off. 'gsettings get
org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons' returns 'false'.
Additionally, my shell (zsh, oh-my-zsh) starts very slow now and with
each prompt (enter without a command entered), it takes about 2-3
seconds before the user> shows again. The icons "blink" during this as
they're being refreshed.
