The default bookmarks , in particular Desktop are created non removable.

Despite the spirit of the following comment in the source, the user is not 
allowed to remove Desktop.

  impl->has_desktop = shortcuts_insert_path (impl, -1, FALSE, NULL, path, 
_("Desktop"), FALSE, NULL);
  /* We do not actually pop up an error dialog if there is no desktop directory
   * because some people may really not want to have one.
   */

Indeed I see no way removing any bookmark would be critical if the user wished 
to do so.

The desktop folder exists on my system but I dont use as a user. I should be 
allowed to remove this redundant bookmark.

Similarly I can rename "file system". I find it confusing and would rather call 
it what it is : "/" .

Is there any need to hardcode this and prevent changes?
