Found /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf, changed to "enable=False", no change.
Found $/.config/user-dirs.dirs, commented out the ones I didn't want,
no change. File $/.config/user-dirs.dirs reverted to original on
logout/login.
Changed all the pointers in $/.config/user-dirs.dirs to "Desktop" so
that no other directory would be created, success. Deleted
directories stay deleted. File $/.config/user-dirs.dirs not reverting
to original form on logout/login.
What an immense waste of time. I can understand having the directories
created once, when the user is created. This automatic regeneration
is utterly pointless and annoying.
Sorry to bother y'all with this.
