createshortcut.sh on Gnome should use $(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP) to find desktop directory

On Gnome, if you have locale? set to some language, the directory name of desktop is translated.
For me $HOME/Bureau (french)

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/ suggest to use these 2 lines:
test f ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:_{/.config}/user-dirs.dirs && source ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-}/.config}/user-dirs.dirs
echo ${XDG_DESKTOP_DIR:-$HOME/Desktop}
I believe create shortcut should use it as default... rather than what seems to be $HOME/desktop
