Question about "Desktop" directory
Hello guys,
whenever I installed Arch on my systems I always had a Desktop directory in my /home/user/.
But yesterday I installed Arch on my new Eee PC to run Musca on it, created the new user with adduser, but there is simply not such a directory.
It's not really annoying but I wonder when that directory will be created and when not.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Question about "Desktop" directory
Firefox creates it, and I think gnome and the other DE's create it.

Re: Question about "Desktop" directory
is there a way to keep firefox from creating the 'Desktop' directory? i *never* use it, and it kinda bugs me.

Re: Question about "Desktop" directory
I think Firefox's default download location is ~/Desktop/Downloads so it will create those directories. Try changing it's download folder.

I don't believe that has anything to do with it. I had to change something or other in gconf to get rid of it.
