Description Ahmad Samir 2009-10-22 19:11:49 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.4.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Using systemsettings> About Me> Paths, to change the path to e.g. ~/Documents, doesn't enclose the edited paths in " ", so on login when 'xdg-user-dirs-update' runs it nukes user-dirs.dirs and uses its default settings.

Test case:
- Open systemsettings> About Me> Paths
- Change /home/<user name>/Documents to /home/<user name>/Documents2
- notice that ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs changes:

XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"

to
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR=$HOME/Documents2  #(with " ")

- Run 'xdg-user-dirs-update' or log out > log in, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is reverted to its defaults.

The quotes problem was fixed already: check bug 177474 and http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=1035639
