Description FabiB 2015-02-06 10:29:48 UTC
When i want to set the new Path to the Desktop, because i had installed the system in english and want to have german directories I will start the "kcmshell5 desktoppath"
now wen i trie to enter a new path to the desktop, it will be ignored, it switches to my $HOME and it automatically chances my autostart folder to $HOME/Autostart

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. create a new Desktop folder in your $HOME, for German its ~/Schreibtisch
1.  open kcmshell5 desktoppath
2. change Desktop to ~/Schreibtisch
3.  klick OK

Actual Results:  
your new Desktop Path is ~ and Autostart is ~/Autotart

xdg-user-dir DESKTOP

will tell you the same

Expected Results:  
it should edit the xdg user dir file correctly and set the path we want to have

i set the buglevel to "Grave" because for me, this toll is unusable now. it has only this one funktion and it is broken.

autostart will move if it's currently in a subdir of the old Desktop location to ~/Autostart. 

Other bug is valid.
