The same thing happened to me after I upgraded KDE to 3.5.9 while still using Kubuntu 7.10
(deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-kde-3.5.9/ubuntu gutsy main)

The above solution doesn't seem to work for me though:
If I use "System Settings > About Me > Paths" to update the path, it is written into ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs correctly. After restarting KDE the path is still present in user-dirs.dirs, but "kde-config --userpath desktop" reveals that my Desktop still points to /. Also of course my Desktop shows me icons for my root-directory.

My next approach, namely to put the line "Desktop=$HOME/Desktop" into the [Paths]-section of ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals doesn't solve the problem either.
