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

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.
