Actually, they are re-created. I've deleted them a couple of times
already. However as I now know of a knob (~/.config/user-dirs.dirs) to
twist, I'm sure I can tweak it to my liking.

I still think this will upset people even though it may be something
good/cool/handy/smart. People should at least be presented with something
that tells them about it and ideally allows them to set the directories in
question when creating a useraccount through the gui for example.


Kind regards,
