What program creates the directory Desktop and how do I stop it.
 

I'm using Slackware 14.1 64 bit with KDE and every time I reboot after doing something in another op sys the directory Desktop gets created within a couple of hours (but not straight after the reboot).
I do not want a directory called Desktop on my system and I hate the fact that some program creates it without my permission and I am getting bored with having to remove the directory just because I wanted to use another op sys.
Does anyone know what program creates the directory and more important how to stop it?
Is the problem with Slackware itself or is KDE doing it?

KDE

I suspect Firefox:

Seamonkey is a notorious offender

Firefox always creates one

For anyone else with the same issue this happened after running slkpkg upgrade not after the initial install.

55020 that looks to have cured it (were you sitting there waiting for me to ask the question) also seems to have cured a small problem with Ktorrent. That was not restarting after a reboot but did this time.

Metaschima I use Opera so I can't suspect Firefox.

Well I am about to hit the road and goto the Bathurst 12 hour so no more from me until next week when I will close the thread.

You can create the file with the next content:

That actally worked :)

the offender is indeed the package "xdg-user-dirs", i hate it with passion. thanks 55020 for this solution, usually i would just remove this package.

It was my first time at Mount Panorama having watched on TV for about 50 years and the track is even more awesome in real life.

Ya gotta love TV commentators.
