Hello Rex,

My ~/.config/user-dirs.conf diesn't exist but ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs does.
See following output;

[graeme@barney ~]$ cd .config

XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"

[graeme@barney .config]$

I didn't change XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/" line but followed Jose's
instructions for the moment..

Thanks for the latest information here. I have filed it for future
reference. When I fully understand what I am doing I will make the change
here.
