SYNOPSISxdg-user-dirs-gtk-updateDESCRIPTIONxdg-user-dirs-gtk-update is automatically run on login to the GNOME
desktop environment to aid in the management of the locale specific XDG
User Directories.
Should the user be starting a session that is using a different locale
to that which was used to create the original XDG User Directories,
then the user will be prompted to make a decision on whether to update
the XDG User Directories to the new locale or leave them unchanged.
The original locale that was used to create the initial set of XDG User
Directories on first login is stored in the file ${XDG_CON‐
FIG_HOME}/user-dirs.locale.
Should the user decide to update to the current locale, then xdg-user-
dirs-update will be used to perform the desired action.
