No one has talked about having standard folders on the *desktop*. It has
always been assumed that they would live in $HOME, as with current folders
such as Desktop, Templates, etc.

Also, folder i18n discussion has centred around consistent on-disk names and
translations in the interface, *not* configurable on-disk locations.
