After that I logged out and logged back in and all was well. -- [Hardy] Desktop Folder reported twice changing language in automatic changing folder name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to xdg-user-dirs-gtk in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
