Title:
  Special user folders not moved when changing language

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

Bug description:
  When changing language between English (United States) and Spanish
  (Mex.), if I choose to change the names of directories, such as
  Desktop -> Escritorio, the Desktop folder in the previous language
  remains with all of its files after the change, while the Desktop
  folder in the new language is created, but is empty.

  
  Steps to reproduce in Lucid Beta1 Netbook Edition Live USB (persistent).
  1) Boot the live session, select English and "Try Ubuntu"
  2) Reboot the system
  3) Select Italian (or another language).
  4) A window come up asking about changing folder names automatically.
  5) Select Yes.

  What it should happen:
  * Folders should be correctly renamed.

  What happens instead:
  * In File & Folders
  Document, Music, Pictures, Videos folders are correctly renamed.
  There are both Downloads and Scaricati (italian name) folders present.
  There is a Desktop folder instead of a Scrivania (italian name) one and it contains the Example folder and "Install Ubuntu etc." icon.

  * In Ubuntu folder:
  All folder are correctly renamed but there are both Desktop and Scrivania (italian translation) in it.
  The Desktop folder contains the Example folder and "Install Ubuntu etc.", Scrivania folder is empty.
