This is implemented in GtkPlacesSidebar and the last time I tried
to remove built-in entries, I had to resort to patching
gtkplacessidebar.c and build a custom GTK+. user-dirs.dirs is not
sufficient to achieve the result.

Also some applications ignore XDG and create Desktop/Music/etc
regardless of null-pointing them, and it's a constant fight for
all of us users that don't run a desktop environment. to keep
$HOME clean.
