Hm, could be. I have investegated a bit further: xdg-user-dirs-update is 
called by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg-user-dirs-update which generates the 
mangled file on each login. 

I'm just reading through the sources of xdg-user-dirs-update and try to figure 
out why it works on most systems and failes on others. 

I personly think it's a bug to generate $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs on every 
login. Would be way better to just regenerate that stuff if it's missing.
