Bug Description

When launching desktopfolder for the first time, it creates a 'Desktop' Directory in my $HOME if it does not exist. However, my ubuntu is configured for French language, so I already have a translated desktop folder name called 'Bureau' (means 'Desktop'). So, the result is that my Bureau folder is not used by the desktopfolder application and i do not see my files on the screen background.

I suggest to add to desktopfolder a mean to translate the 'Desktop' folder name into the current locale before to operate.
