If it's saved to your old user's desktop, it would be in 
"/home/oldusername/Desktop".

I'm thinking you're testing by putting this into your new user's 
desktop? It would need to go in to /home/newusername/Desktop and should 
show up on the new user's desktop at that point.

NoOp is also popping in now. He gives great advice to follow :-)
