Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/146

The file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is used by applications to determine the actual names of the Documents, Music, ... folders in the user's locale.

So, consider whitelisting that file by default in the profiles and making it read-only, possibly by adding the following to whitelist-common.inc:

whitelist ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
read-only ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
