desktop_is_home_dir was the first thing I checked, and is not set. XDG_DESKTOP_DIR was set to "$HOME/", along with all of the other directories I had symlinked (Music, Pictures, Videos, Documents). Setting it to "$HOME/Desktop" did fix the problem. Thank you.
I think the behaviour should be to try the values in user-dirs.dirs, then default to home if something goes wrong. Alternatively, perhaps the defaults could be saved elsewhere if something goes wrong, and tested when you log in. -- If ~/Desktop cannot be accessed, home folder is displayed permanently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
