Not sure if that's true, but I use the reverse method. I have a 
German Desktop with "Arbeitsfläche" being the localised desktop 
directory, and two symlinks pointing to it:

mirko at WizBox:~$ ls -dl desk Desktop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mirko mirko 15 Jun 15 16:22 desk -> Arbeitsfläche/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mirko mirko 15 Jun 15 16:21 Desktop -> Arbeitsfläche/

Works fine, with instant auto-refresh and all, regardless of from 
where to where I drag'n'drop (or touch a new file).
