[Bug 208253] Re: Can't change Documents or Desktop paths

[Olaf Lenz]

After some more digging into the problem, I've found a workaround, and I
think that I also found the bug itself:

The KDE Control Center Module that changes the path creates an entry in
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs that has the form

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR[$e]="/home/olenz/KDesktop"

When removing the "[$e]" with an editor, and logging out and in again,
the changed path persists, and everything works as intended.

The "[$e]" seems to originate from KDE, where it is found in the lines in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals. 
In ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs however, the "[$e]" has to be omitted.

I think the bug is therefore in the KDE control center module that edits
the latter file. Now I wonder: is this a bug in KDE, or in Kubuntus
modifications?
