Bug Description

The GUI interface doesn't reflect the terminal window contents. I suppose it's a language problem in the edubuntu user. Other users are OK.
See the attached screen-shot.

Hello Sandra
Yes probably is something related to localization, but I cannot understand how many Desktop dir Edubuntu has.
If Desktop is translated to Scrivania why Desktop is listable ?

affects: xorg (Ubuntu) → edubuntu-live (Ubuntu)

edubuntu user has just one Desktop directory correctly displayed by
the ls shell command, but the GUI interface names it Scrivania as I
chose the italian language; the Scrivania directory in not present if
I look at the home directory using ls shell command. If I log out and
log in again the Desktop/Scrivania contents are correctly displayed.
I suppose some link is not correctly managed. If I create a new user
its home directory has no Desktop directory but just Scrivania
directory, so no problem exists. The problem just concerns the built
in edubuntu user.

Confirmed.
I also noticed that it's "Desktop" showing the home directory, but it's "Scrivania" on the side pane. (See screenshot)
