The current behavior is inconsistent. If you do the rename in the GUI file manager, the "remembered" name is updated, but if you do it via the desktop terminal program, it doesn't. Doing it the same (always updating or never) would be good; it is the difference in behavior that is bad, combined with a hidden remembered value that is difficult to change. If the desktop starts up and can't find the expected/old dir, there needs to be a way for me to update the "remembered value": "please use 'Music' instead of the default 'My Music'..." -John
