xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage "well known" user directories like the desktop folder and the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the filenames.
xdg-user-dirs-update is ran early in the login phase. It reads a configuration
file /etc/xdg/xdg-user-dirs.defaults. You should replace this file as root
before logging in or opening the file manager. Here is the updated file after
truncating names.
# Default settings for user directories
#
# The values are relative pathnames from the home directory and
# will be translated on a per-path-element basis into the users locale
DESKTOP=gui
DOWNLOAD=dl
TEMPLATES=eg
PUBLICSHARE=pub
DOCUMENTS=docs
MEDIA=media
MUSIC=media/music
PICTURES=media/pics
VIDEOS=media/vids
# Another alternative is:
#MUSIC=Documents/Music
#PICTURES=Documents/Pictures
#VIDEOS=Documents/Videos
These are not all the directories, just the ones with XDG functionality. Some of the may need to be downloaded.
