It's an error to [try to] rename standard folders because there may exist 
references to their files.
That is why xdg-user-dirs does not rename nonempty folders.
But this is indeed inconvenient and there is a solution that is not.
The correct solution is to create symbolic links as explained in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32342
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-user-dirs/+bug/556933
In consequence, I have made the incorrect bugs duplicates of these.
