Possibility of changing "desktop" name is harmful

[Iñaki]

Hi, in KDE the user can change the directory name of "desktop" to anything.

The advantage of it is just related to the user's languaje, but no more.

But the disadvantages of changing "desktop" name are very important when the 
user needs to use Gtk programs that don't know about the new desktop name and 
still use "desktop" name to save or look for files.

A very easy example is when the user downloads anything with Firefox. By 
default Firefox doesn't ask where to store the downloads and uses "desktop" 
folder. So the user can't find the downloades file in him desktop.

Is it a KDE problem? or maybe Gtk problem? I don't know, but the fact is that 
this possibility only can be harmful and annoying for the user. It could be 
great in a world where Gnome and KDE use a standarized criterion for those 
kind of common tasks, but it's not the real scenario today.

I'd propose deleting the possibility of changing "desktop" name to avoid those 
innecesary problems. What do you thing about?

Regards.
