Comment 18 for bug 2036597

I just encountered this issue as well when I installed the okular snap. It overwrote my Desktop directory to `Desktop -> /home/<myuser>/Desktop`, same with Public, and resulted in the contents of my home directory being visible on my desktop, which is not desirable obviously.

The version of okular I installed was:
latest/stable: 23.08.4 2023-12-10 (148)

I replaced the broken links with empty directories and rebooted, but `.config/user-dirs.dirs` was still incorrect (I hadn't yet uninstalled okular, but I had not opened it in a few days either).

I manually edited `.config/user-dirs.dirs` and ran `sudo xdg-user-dirs-update`, and my homedir contents are still visible on my desktop. I will reboot to see if the problem is resolved after this.
