+For Desktop, MyMusic, and MyPictures, this patch will
+
+a) Look for the respective XDG environment variable (e.g. XDG_MUSIC_DIR)
+b) If not set in the environment, read the variable from
+"user-dirs.dirs" in SpecialFolder.ApplicationData (e.g. ~/.config)
+c) If that file doesn't exist or the variable is not set in it, fall
+back to a sane default (e.g. "~/Music")
+
+I have also implemented a non-corlib version of ReadXdgUserDir in Banshee:
