Screen shot showing non-existent folders

Background

Some people make heavy use of the command line and therefore don't like having
directories with capital letters. Other people prefer not having empty
directories in their $HOME directory. In these cases, such people may opt to
eliminate those directories (e.g., Download, Documents, Music, Pictures,
Videos, etc.).

Replicate

1. Install OS with xfce4 window manager
2. Log in
3. Change $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs as follows:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/"

4. Log out
5. Log in
6. Launch Firefox (or any web browser)
7. Open a file (e.g., type Ctrl+O)

Expected Results

No non-existent folders in the left-hand panel.

Actual Results

Folders that the user specifically eliminated from their system are still
showing up in the file dialog.
