This is still a problem in Ubuntu 10.04 (beta)! Just luck brought me here to find the solution with the .config directory. I think one should be presented with a dialog on the next login where one has the possibility of restoring the desktop folder entry (and settings) with a checkbox to not show again. That would save users in use cases as mine.
