Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
When I try to save one avatar picture that one of my MSN contacts has it first try to save it into the folder "Desktop". That would be very true and good if "Desktop" was my desktop, but it isn't. As I have selected Swedish as my language and the name of the "Desktop folder" is not "Desktop" but "Skrivbord".
I know this isn't a major issue but still it's a little annoying. Such a small thing shouldn't be too hard to fix.

-------
The same bug occurs when using Firefox. I try to save files from my email to my desktop, aka "skrivbord", but they end up in my user folder, i.e. the files end up in /home/user when they should go into /home/user/
I am also running Ubuntu 7.10
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
