Disable auto generation of ~/Desktop ~/Documents ~/Downloads etc.

I prefer mwm and don't want any of the Gnome/KDE stuff on my (CentOS 6.3) desktop. But the system keep regenerating the following folders in my home directory.

Desktop  Documents  Downloads  Music  Pictures  Public  Templates  Videos

Solution:

Edith /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf to set "enabled=False". Then remove the above directories and relogin again. Done!
