This is confusing.

In the file selector, I would have "Escritorio" - but, if I clicked the
"home" folder, I would also have "Desktop" available; and if I
bookmarked that for the file selector, I could well have both as options
without ever acknowliging that they in fact are the one and same?

I really, _really_ do not see how having a gconf key available pointing
at whatever happens to be the "Desktop" folder is worse. Sure, it will
break for any non-gnome app - but it will do so with dynamic renaming as
well.
