This IMHO is the best way to map these default folders to already
existing folders. If we switch to this scheme we should give the user
the possibilty of choosing if he wants the default-folder structure or
if he wants to define some of these folders himself.

Furthermore: What if a user changes the name of one of his
default-folder via a terminal? Perhaps this could be intercepted with
inotify?
