Please create a feature request on the bug tracker so it won´t be
forgotten.

> and Desktop.

The desktop folder is a Windows concept that does not exist under
linux. The desktop exists, but it can be implemented very differently
on each window manager and isn´t necessarely a folder, and if it is,
it´s location varies a lot.

generally path is the directory: /home/Desktop

var
dirHome: String;

procedure...
begin
dirHome:=ExtractFilePath(GetAppConfigDir(False));
dirDesktop:=dirHome+'Desktop'
OpenDialog1.InitialDir:=dirDesktop;
end;

or

use "Shell Script" for searching with the command "find" the directory
"Desktop", the result save in one string...
(OpenDialog1.InitialDir...).
