First of all I'm not sure if this is the right place to report the bug, for I'm completely new to linux (just came from MS).
As described in http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=198238 :

I'm on Linux Mint 17.1 XFCE 32 bits and someway, the icons on my home folder are shown in the desktop instead of home/desktop.
It happened after I switched languages in the login screen. Right after login, the computer asked if I wished to change the name of the folders in my Home to the new language instead of keeping the english ones and I confirmed. After that, I believe the system couldn't find the Desktop folder (inside home folder) anymore and so started using the Home folder as desktop instead...
One more thing: Once I confirmed the system question, instead of renaming the folders, it created new ones keeping the english, so I got duplicated folders and as I'm completely new to linux, I'd like to know if anyone has been able to solve it or have any Idea on how to...

I believe the system path that points to the Desktop folder, inside my Home folder has been somehow changed, but I can't find where this setting is...
Thank you for your time...
