Anyways looks like xfdesktop doesn't obey this, and always uses $HOME/Desktop. I noticed that $HOME/Desktop is being created only by xfdesktop so this means, that this path is hardcoded. It would be nice if this could be fixed. Reproducible: Always
Yes, I have plans to implement this for 4.6, but there are other things that need to get done first.
Created attachment 1617 Use XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
Ok i've created a patch, for this. Also i've commited this for Mandriva cooker, so people could test this: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/?view=rev&revision=201352
Looks like this is short term solution. I think that libxfce4util should check where is Desktop(XDG_DESKTOP_DIR) folder and then just export this to Thunar, xfdesktop and few plugins, WDYT?
There's a bit more necessary than just checking XDG_DESKTOP_DIR. I'd prefer to integrate this properly rather than just adding a hacky short-term solution.
Anyways i will continue using this hacky patch, i just need it asap. It would be nice if you drop a line when you were about to start implementing it on svn.
Looks like Fedora has found solution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457740 Works like expected ;)
