problem with Desktop folder #187

The Desktop issue is that setting to /usr/share/Desktop once is setting this and it is retained.

cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

# absolute path. No other format is supported.

It had to do with https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_user_directories xdg-user-dirs-update being run when Desktop started and this created config for Desktop dir at /usr/share/Desktop. But this isn't normally set up.

So I put this in the Dockerfile to make sure Desktop is setup and config file doesn't trash anything in the user dir.

# Set the defaults for Desktop. Keep in the base so doesn't trash user environment
ENV XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/etc/xdg/.config
RUN chmod +x "${REPO_DIR}/desktop.sh" \
    && "${REPO_DIR}/desktop.sh"
