This will be broken on non-english systems.

The name of the Desktop folder gets localized on many distributions.
For example the Desktop folder is called Skrivbord on Swedish user systems.
The configuration of the user desktop folder location is set in the
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

On my system this file contains:
xranby at xranby-ESPRIMO-P7935:~/.config$ cat user-dirs.dirs
# 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/Skrivbord"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Hämtningar"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Mallar"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Publikt"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Dokument"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Musik"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Bilder"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Video"
