--- Comment #2 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- I had this problem on Fedora 19. Tracking down a different problem (cinnamon showing my $HOME on my desktop, I fixed this by editing: [austin@localhost tests]$ cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/" [austin@localhost tests]$
if $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is set to $HOME, it will fail. Setting it to $HOME/Desktop, it works fine.
I'm not sure if the test should require a desktop folder, so I'll leave it to someone else to fix.
