I had the same problem - new Gutsy 7.10 install a day or so old. I noticed today that my Desktop folder was now located in $HOME/.Trash though I can't explain how/why it got there - possibly my heavy- handedness deleting stuff in my home folder.
Used sudo mv to shift it back again ok, and that's when I found that the desktop was acting as if desktop_is_home_dir was set true (it wasn't). Editing user-dirs.dirs as above will hopefully fix it for me. -- files from ~ shown on desktop (desktop_is_home_dir == false) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154037 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
