In this case I think is better to follow xdg standards.
For example, for user documents, xdg_user_dir_lookup("DOCUMENTS").

3. I never
understood the blind acceptance of four virtual desktops.
Most
new users will appreciate two.
Sorry; I don't agree here. I can't imagine life without four desktops 5. Digital
clocks are geeky. Just choose Plain as the default.

Sorry, disagree. I like the intuitive icon view myself, and even by their
name, hidden files are supposed to be hidden! ;-) I can see too many
"oops, I just dragged and dropped my .<critical system file> who knows
where and now I can't use my computer" type complaints cropping up.
Maybe sometime we will replace konqueror with dolphin. I never used konq as
filemanager because I feel it too slow and uncomfortable. I started using
dolphin when I begin to create cmake scripts for kdelibs and seems pretty
versatile and agile (for example filtering is very useful feature).

11. A bug:
Selecting the My Documents Device Icon results in an error
because the ~/Documents directory does not exist. I personally would get
upset if any software created such a directory on my system. On the other
hand, I think when a person explicitly enables
that device icon then
such
a directory should get created. No, not quite. I
think when a person
enables that directory a pop-up should appear asking for the path to that
directory. The default would be ~/Documents, but
the user can change the
text in the popup text box. > 12. I'm glad you selected to display both

Bad ideea. For example I have 4 webbrowsers. I do not want to start one of it,
but specific one. And I can continue with many examples.
