Title:
  xdg-user-dirs doesn't work reliably with mount points

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

Bug description:
  In theory I should be able to set xdg-user-dirs
  DESKTOP=Documents/Desktop which happens to be how Windows stores it's
  desktop files. Then mount (I use pam_mount) Documents as a smb share.
  This works about half of the time, assumably a race condition between
  mounting the share and setting xgd user dirs. Half the time Desktop
  defaults to Home instead of where it was set to.

  I've come up with a terrible work around on my blog.
  http://davidmburke.com/2012/05/10/settings-desktop-to-be-
  documentsdesktop/ The work around involves running xdg-user-dirs and
  restarting nautilus a few seconds after the user logs in.
