That's the wrong fix; instead, the desktops need to be fixed not to
screw up when the folder is shared. The folder name is an ISV API and a
UI expectation and shouldn't be changing all the time.

The way this works in GNOME is that GNOME doesn't write any
autogenerated files to ~/Desktop. Fixing KDE to work the same way
probably isn't too hard, then the problem would be solved.
