I think that the easiest way to determine which localizations have
this problem is to look at:
tar tvf
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Resources/LANGUAGE.lproj/user.gnutar
... where LANGUAGE is each of the supported languages. In the
English.lproj, one can see that the perms on the Desktop folder are
set correctly. Unfortunately, on my system, I've gone through and
rm'd all of the non-English .lproj folders, so I cannot easily verify
where the problem might lie.
If the above is the problem though, then the simplest solution would
be to untar the unser.gnutar file, change the perms to what is
desired, and then retar the directory.
