Works for me providing the "hardcoded" directory is in the .po files.
Realistically we should still have gnome-session set the variable for
neatness and interoperability with non-gnome apps which can't
telepathically divine the current gnome default.

Something like

	if(gconf_key ...)
		putenv
	else
		putenv("_FDO_DESKTOP_PATH", _("Desktop"));

isn't going to overstress gnome-session too much. (or build a full path
if that
is wiser)
