Sure, but why hardcode it? A lot of Linux OS variants these days have a
$HOME/Desktop directory created when you create a new user.

Obviously the code that uses that method to see if the directory exists
shouldn't presume that the directory is there, but the system should
return a valid value if does exist, right?
