Screenshot shows duplicate entries.

Overview::
Folder names in Places menu duplicates after changing system language

Steps to Reproduce: 
1.Login to Japanese
3.Go to System/Language and change the system language to English
4.Relogin 
5.Click Yes to the Update Folder Names prompt
6.Click on Places menu in Gnome toolbar

Actual Results: 
Folder names do not update to the new system language
The names stay in Japanese when they should change to English

This occurs when switching between any of the supported locales

If the user logs out and log back in again after the steps above then the folder names do update.

Patch: monitor file change for XDG user dirs and update it accordingly.

I've found that two sources of place menus: bookmarks from Nautilus and XDG user dirs have overlaps. Simple string comparison is used to prevent duplicates, but in case of locale change it can fail.
