I set the gconf preference apps.nautilus.preferences.desktop_is_home_dir. This makes GNOME use my home directory as my desktop, rather than ~/Desktop. Firefox 3 does not seem to respect this preference. By default, it creates a ~/Desktop directory and puts downloads there.
Product: Firefox → Toolkit
FWIW, the code currently responsible for giving back ~/Desktop is what has been added with bug #399500. Now, what do the XDG specs really say about the desktop folder ?
It seems that this works OK now; it seems to respect XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR. Closing.
