Description Owen Taylor 2003-10-27 22:26:20 UTC 
- Click on home directory
- See Desktop directory
- Select properties
- Rename it

That sequence might be OK if it stayed your desktop directory,
but it doesn't. A new one will be created next time nautilus
is started.

Simplest is just to disable.

Proposed patch.

I'm still unsure on some details. See

Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-15 21:27:48 UTC 
can you try to mail the list again or to ping a maintainer about this patch?
