Hi, Wayne: I assume you use OpenSolaris0805, right? I can not reproduce the issue(file Desktop is created instead of dir Desktop) in the latest OpenSolaris(based on sxce_99). Regarding the directory renaming -- the design is that if you have some files in those directories, such as Desktop, it won't be moved. In fact it is not a renaming, it is "removing and then creating". Since changing the existing files may cause other problems, when you login, if you choose to "rename" those directories, the system will just "remove" those directories(if empty, otherwise keep unchanged.) and "create" those directories in localized names. But there is still a problem -- when you change to Chinese names, GNOME may still use the previous name "Desktop" for some links. We are aware of the problem and the responsible engineer is working on the solution. For now as a work around, you need to logout and login again. Then everything works fine. And Chinese characters can also be displayed in en_US.UTF-8. If you can not see it, please check your locale and the terminal's character set setting.
