This port should install the xdg-user-dirs port and run `xdg-user-dirs-update`, which will create the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file: # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos" The benefits is that Gnome will use specific folder icons for each of the above directories in Nautilus file manager, and screenshots will be auto-saved to the ~/Pictures directory instead of your home directory.

Created attachment 184444 [details] patch-xdg-user-dirs-update-gnome The following patch run xdg-user-dirs-update to create various XDG directories, and write ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, etc. That file is read by glib to get XDG_PICTURES_DIR, XDG_DESKTOP_DIR, etc.
(In reply to Carlos J. Puga Medina from comment #2) I think this patch should be added to x11/gnome-sessions.
