I don't have a “Desktop” bookmark in nautilus, but in Thunar?

Question

I have xdg users configured manually, in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs I have:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Various"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Papers/"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="/Misc/Musics/"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="/Application/Videos/"

But nautilus just don't show the Desktop folder,

How should I fix that ?

Answer 1

In GNOME 3, Nautilus no longer manages the DESKTOP. In other words, there is no DESKTOP hence XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is meaningless to Nautilus. You'll have to re-enable the DESKTOP in order to have it among other Nautilus bookmarks in the side pane, either through Gnome-tweak-tool:

Have file manager handle the desktop [ON]

or, in terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background true
