Continuing the spamming :) 

FYI. Try this: 
- Create a localized "Desktop" directory
- Go to kcontrol-> System Administration -> Paths
- Change the "Desktop path:" to your new localized "Desktop"

When you press Apply you are asked if you want to move the files.

Voila! Your desktop is now the new localized version.

Firefox does not complain (BUG IMHO) and saves the files in ~/

(I also noticed that the Paths module needs some usability love. When you 
press Cancel on the move question the whole action is not canceled. The files 
are just not moved. Cancel should be replaced with something like "Do Not 
Move")
