Title:
  mv or rm of any XDG user dir causes its definition to change to wrong,
  oversimple $HOME/

Status in “xdg-user-dirs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Tested in Hardy and Intrepid

  1)
  Delete ~/Templates
  Rebooting
  Change in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to remove the Templates folder as a link for the shortcut (RightClick > Create Document > Template)

  2)
  Creating  ~/Templates
  Rebooting
  There is no change in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs even when ~/Templates it present at login, therefore the Template shortcut no longer works

  Is this intentional or a bug?
