Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.3-2
Severity: normal
I set the gconf preference
apps.nautilus.preferences.desktop_is_home_dir. This makes GNOME use
my home directory as my desktop, rather than ~/Desktop. Firefox 3
does not seem to respect this preference. By default, it creates a
~/Desktop directory and puts downloads there.
This seems distinct from 495442; that bug states that ~/Desktop still
gets created after changing the download directory, while this bug
states that the default download directory shouldn't point to
~/Desktop if the gconf setting
apps.nautilus.preferences.desktop_is_home_dir has the value "true".

Iceweasel has been respecting XDG_DESKTOP_DIR since 3.0~b5. I think it's
up to gnome to make sure XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is set to whatever is
appropriate considering the gnome settings.
Please feel free to reopen and reassign to the appropriate package if
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is still not set when you chose desktop_is_home_dir.
Cheers,
Mike
