[Desktop-packages] [Bug 209513] Re: After upgrade, "Update standard folders to current language" threatens to rename your home folder
Wow, this bugginess is still around in 16.04. Today after a minor upgrade this offer to change folders came up. I initially declined the offer but when it persisted I accepted and my Download folder with 13 GB of data disappeared - poof - and was replaced with an empty Download folder. Fortunately, after reading the above comments it seemed the data was still around and turned out to be fairly easy to locate. The Download folder was tucked away in Home's .cache folder. A new Download folder had been created, so it was a simple matter to merge the two and everything is now back to normal.

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.
