'Desktop' still a destination for saving an image

[Larry]

When saving an image, the dialog still presents Desktop as an option even though it is not used for storing files at all on elementary... Seems like we should get rid of that option since it is irrelevant and confusing.

OP would you happen to be using Firefox? It will forceably recreate a "Desktop" folder

[Larry (timefordrums)]

Oh, sorry I forgot to mention my browser. I am using Midori and I thought that the Desktop folder being present was odd since Midori is the default browser and elementary doesn't really have a desktop folder.

Ah this looks to be a problem with the Gtk Places Sidebar widget. Confirming and targeting to Loki.

I imagine ideally we'll want to propose a fix for the Gtk widget upstream to not show folders that don't exist. But barring that, we should at least patch it out of the upcoming File Chooser Dialog gtk module
