huh, tried to take a screenshot, but got "Something went wrong. Screenshot could not be saved", it looks that something strange is happening... here's the manual c/p:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEO_DIR="$HOME/"

shall I try with the proper full path?

btw this morning lady in the copy office after printing some pdfs from my Nokia N9 in usb mass storage mode unplugged it without clicking the "eject..." before - could it be the reason?
