Thanks for clarifying this, Sebastien! Here's what I now get with my
setup:
After removing the non-translated Desktop directory (leaving translated
in Place), and logging in afterwise, the home directory magically
becomes the desktop, cannot figure out why :(
But If I create a translated Desktop directory in an absolutely blank
homedir (all dotfiles erased, then copied over from /etc/skel), only the
translated folder remains in place, and Places Menu only points to the
translated dir, just as expected :)
One solution to the problem might be running the user-dirs creation
program before any other GNOME-ish stuff comes in and manages to create
the bogus non-translated Desktop, that seems to ruin the whole xdg-user-
dirs idea.
Another pointer is the /usr/bin/xdg-user-dir script itself:
#!/bin/bash
test -f ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/user-dirs.dirs && source
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/user-dirs.dirs
if [ "x$1" == "xDESKTOP" ]; then
eval echo \${XDG_${1}_DIR:-$HOME/Desktop}
else
eval echo \${XDG_${1}_DIR:-$HOME}
fi
It seems to always return "$HOME/Desktop" if the DESKTOP folder is
requested, pretty strange, hmm?
