Please describe the problem:
I have my desktop set to be the home directory in gconf. Once I did this the
~/Desktop folder was displayed on my desktop. I emptied out the contents and
deleted the folder. There is no reason why i should have this folder anymore as
i would expect the ~/ dir to act just as the ~/Desktop previously did

If i use my computer for a while It will suddenly come back for no apparent
reason. I would expect it to stay deleted and all applications now treat ~/ as
it would normally treat ~/Desktop

I feel this is related to bug 133510 but still different

Steps to reproduce:
1. in gconf set the desktop to be the home dir
2. Delete ~/Desktop
3. Use desktop normally and it will magically reappear


Actual results:


Expected results:
The ~/Desktop should stay deleted and the system should now treat ~/ is it would
have treated ~/Desktop

Does this happen every time?
