Thread: Ubuntu 9.04 displays my home folder contents on my desktop

-

this unbelievable. did research , here have in ~/config/user-dirs.dirs
code:
# file written xdg-user-dirs-update # if want change or add directories, edit line you're # interested in. local changes retained on next run # format xdg_xxx_dir="$home/yyy", yyy shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or xdg_xxx_dir="/yyy", /yyy # absolute path. no other format supported. #  xdg_desktop_dir="$home/desktop" xdg_download_dir="$home/desktop" xdg_templates_dir="$home/templates" xdg_publicshare_dir="$home/public" xdg_music_dir="$home/music" xdg_pictures_dir="$home/pictures" xdg_videos_dir="$home/videos" xdg_documents_dir="$home/documents"

restarted x 10 times , still have contents of home directory displayed (not linked) on desktop.
have kde apps installed , last thing did before happened copied contents of backed-up ~/documents folder hardy install new ~/documents folder.

edit: backed-up files burnt on dvd, copied new jaunty install.

here kicker. created empty folder in /home/user_name directory , called 'desktop_new', , made desktop folder in ~/config/user-dirs.dirs , restarted.

result: nothing changed except desktop folder on desktop called 'desktop_new'

far annoying , disturbing problem encountered w/ ubuntu since feisty 7.04.
