OK, I believe this issue is fixed in SVN (still doing a compile to ensure that this is truly the case). If the directory does not exist, then when the My Documents icon is activated it will prompt for the path to the documents folder (prefilled with the suggested XDG default), and create the folder/set the XDG path/launch Konqueror if OK is clicked. If Cancel is clicked, no folder is created and Konqueror is not launched.
Believe it or not this "simple" feature required a new program to be added to kdeskto, as the requested functionality did not exist anywhere in KDE before.
I believe that. :)
Using the desktop My Documents device icon now displays a dialog box if the expected directory does not exist. Good job!
I no longer can find a "Documents Folder" from the K-Menu. What am I missing?
Probably SVN revision r1178412 ;-)
