Since I was unable to successfully alter the line in 
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, I realized that the simpler expedient was to 
use file manager to retrieve all the lost directories, including 
Desktop, from trash and reboot.

This restored everything perfectly.

Sorry for wasting the time of this forum with such a trivial problem.
