Bug Description

Hello
Today I've changed the language of my system passing from Italian to English.
All the packages for English are completely installed and the Italian Language is removed.
After reboot I've got the right Desktop directory (empty) and the old Scrivania (Desktop translated, with the existent files) in the Home directory.
Now the system isn't showing me the Desktop directory, but the Scrivania (with my files).
Also if I drag and drop a file it disappear from the showed Scrivania directory and appear in the Desktop directory.
See attached screencast
