** Description changed: - Tested in Hardy and Intrepid + $ rmdir ~/Videos + ... + $ mkdir ~/Videos - 1) - Delete ~/Templates - Rebooting - Change in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to remove the Templates folder as a link for the shortcut (RightClick > Create Document > Template) - 2) - Creating ~/Templates - Rebooting - There is no change in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs even when ~/Templates it present at login, therefore the Template shortcut no longer works + Hours later, find apps doing crazy things in home directory. - Is this intentional or a bug? + During the elided period between rmdir and mkdir, if the XDG functions + were run, the user's intent is forever lost, and its value is set to the + user's home directory. + + Apps can not rely on XDG functions not to lie about what the user wants. It prefers to say what exists, not now when the app is accessing it, but when the XDG functions ran. It does not provide a file descriptor for an + open_at(2) call. It provides a stale, text name of what used to exist on disk, and often not even what the user wanted.
