On a fresh install of Precise on my laptop, I discovered that all the
contents of $HOME were appearing on my desktop. This is rather annoying
as I abhor things on my desktop... I hate folders and files cluttering
the desktop up and previously this did not happen.
On investigation, I discovered that in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs the
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR item was pointing to "$HOME/" rather than
"$HOME/Desktop" as it did in previous versions of Ubuntu.
This is rather annoying with only the 15 or 20 folders I have currently
in my new home directory... prior to my re-install, my home directory
had over 100 folders in it, and that would have cluttered my desktop to
the point of insanity :(
