What about a compromise - translate GTK+/Nautilus bookmarks, something
like places:// but not folder names in /home/user. We do it for Desktop
already, and it seems that nobody complains about it.

To make it understandable, file selector and Nautilus should show
special icon and a tooltip _("Special directory: Desktop"), _("Special
directory: Pictures").

We can even add a configuration option to make special directories
hidden in /home/user and visible only in places:// and bookmarks.
This is nothing new, we had a hidden Desktop in GNOME 2.2 or so -
~/.gnome-desktop.
