Comment 3 for bug 430290

Removing the Desktop folder makes even less sense given its history, familiarity and the importance of being able to switch to normal Desktop mode. Furthermore, in at least one rendition the Desktop folder was removed leaving people putting "Desktop type" stuff in their /home/<username> folders which was also inappropriate. If some UNR users choose to not use the Desktop folder, that it fine - they can not use it. But PLEASE don't even consider removing something virtually all users (even including users of other OSes) are expecting to be present.
