As far as I know, it's not possible to redefine where the Desktop
folder is.  What you may be thinking of is changing the location of a
user's home folder, which you can do using NetInfo Manager (in /
Applications/Utilities).  I've seen scripts that assume that it's at "/
Users/<user-name>", and that ain't always so.  For example, I have a
network-based home folder that's somewhere totally other.

That may be what I was thinking of. After all, in absolute terms, moving the home directory would necessarily result in the Desktop folder being moved, as well...

Thanks!
