Title:
  If ~/Desktop cannot be accessed, home folder is displayed permanently

Status in “xdg-user-dirs-gtk” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu on my laptop. To keep my personal
  information easily accessible, I symlinked directories in my home
  folder to their equivalents in XP, including my Desktop.

  This works fine until, for some reason, my XP partition cannot be
  mounted (for example, if Windows freezes and cannot be cleanly shut
  down), in which case my home folder is displayed on my desktop.

  That's fine, but once I've rectified the problem and mounted the
  drive, the desktop keeps displaying my home folder, despite options
  set in gconf-editor, and after countless logouts/reboots. I expect it
  to g back to ~/Desktop the next time I log in.

  I'm using Intrepid Alpha 4, although the same occurred on Hardy.
