Hi! Of course, I have read all the comments for bug #122602. Sorry, If I am being unclear, but english is not my native language, and my comments may seem ambiguous. I'll try to be more clear: Despite "Desktop" not being bookmarked in the latest xdg-user-dirs(-gtk) packages, another folder named "Desktop" (translated on disk to "Рабочий стол", "Bureau") is being created, which is very confusing, because: In all revelant places (Places menu, GTK file choosers, etc.), users have TWO Desktop-shortcuts: 1. One points to the physical "Desktop" folder 2. The other points to the physical "Рабочий стол" folder (Desktop translation) I beleive this happens due to unification of DESKTOP and DOWNLOAD dirs in 0.8-0ubuntu3. xdg-user-dirs-gtk creates a bookmark for DOWNLOAD, and DOWNLOAD points to DESKTOP in our package. But the folder created has translated name, ignoring the already-present special-cased "Desktop" folder. So, in recent daily livecds I always see 2 folders in my $HOME: "Desktop" and "Рабочий стол" See? Please take your time to look at the screenshots attached to this bug. They illustrate this all quite well. I beleive there're two ways to fix this: 1. Remove translations for "Desktop" and "desktop" from all the .po- files for xdg-user-dirs, so that exactly one special-cased "Desktop" folder will remain. 2. Split DESKTOP and DOWNLOAD in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults again, so the false Desktop folder will not at least be created by default. I beleive GNOME does not yet respect xdg-user-dirs, and is hardly tied to the special-cased untranslated "Desktop" directory, so it might be useful to remove "desktop" and "Desktop" translation strings from the template until Hardy and GNOME 2.22... -- [gutsy] VERY bad Desktop location inconsistency with xdg-user dirs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
