Actually FreeDesktop has a standard for this, user "special" directories
(including Desktop) are set in :
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Consequently the format for XDG user-dirs is :

# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.

Afaik Mono already supports this but there is probably some bug with how the
$HOME/yyy format is handled.


Just my 2 cents.
