One little nit that annoys me about modern desktop environments is they keep creating the stupid Desktop directory... I don't use a desktop at all, and always disable it entirely, so I remove the directory as well... next time I notice, whoops, it's there again! !#@$& grumble It's not just desktop environments, many other "big apps" seem to create this directory as well... argh.

If you use GNU/Linux, check out: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs Setting these env vars will prevent Firefox and other apps from thinking they have to create those directories.
