Hm, could be. I have investegated a bit further: xdg-user-dirs-update is
called by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg-user-dirs-update which generates the
mangled file on each login.
I'm just reading through the sources of xdg-user-dirs-update and try to figure
out why it works on most systems and failes on others.
I personly think it's a bug to generate $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs on every
login. Would be way better to just regenerate that stuff if it's missing.
I just installed TDE 3.5.15 on a fresh wheezy box
(T61p, kernel 3.*,
nvidia drivers). Funny thing, anything worked, after I got rid of all
KDE4 libs which caused a blue screen with cursor after login otherwise.
The only issue I did not find a reason for is that
$HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs gets overwritten with all folders set to
$HOME:
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME"
So this causes TDE to assume the desktop folder is the useres home
directory. I can change that dir to "$HOME/Desktop" and apply the
immutable flag to the file to prevent it beeing overwritten at login -
the fiole is overwritten at each login somewhere before TDE reads it.
Now my question is, what when why is this file written? It's a bit
anoying when you stumble upon that problem :-)

I'm not sure if it's the same bug but does running xdg-user-dirs-update
solve the problem? - John
