Okay but are symbolic links ruled out?

IE suppose we had them as hidden folders:
Desktop as ~/.Desktop
Documents as ~/.Documents 
Shared as ~/.Shared  

Then all Gnome has to do is create the internationlised links on a
user's first ever log in (or when they change locale in which case we
rename the links). 

It would work like that but I suspect some will argue against using
links.

jamie.
