People were complaining in the office today about their Athena home
directories being spammed with directories with names:
* Documents
* Music
* Pictures
* Templates
* Videos
created whenever they login to zsr (or any other Debathena Gutsy machine).
This behavior can be disabled by doing
sed -i 's/^enabled=True$/enabled=False/' /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf
Is this something that we want to configure for debathena-workstation? I
suspect that our users would appreciate not having these directories
created automatically in their home directory every time they login (it's
pretty obnoxious behavior; though it may be user-configurable by editing
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs).
