The desktop that you get in gnome is configured from the system
directories and from ~/Desktop.  This means that anything that you save
to the desktop is stored in ~/Desktop.

This means that each gnome user *must* have a directory named Desktop,
unless you want to rebuild gnome to use '.Desktop' rather than 'Desktop'
as the name of the directory that stores the desktop files.
