Do I really need to reconstruct the full path with

There's got to be something simple!!!
Any help very much appreciated.
Try the following (note -[NSString stringByExpandingTildeInPath] and
-[NSString fileSystemRepresentation], the later should be used when
passing a path to a POSIX API, etc.)...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSArray* paths;
paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDesktopDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, NO );
NSString* fullPathToDesktop = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]
stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
const char* fullPathToDesktopFS = [fullPathToDesktop
fileSystemRepresentation];
NSLog(@"NSDesktopDirectory:\n %@ [%s]", fullPathToDesktop,
fullPathToDesktopFS);
[pool release];
return 0;
}
Color me (slightly) confused, but...
Why not just pass "YES" to the "expandTilde" parameter for
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains()?
I think you'll find this:
NSArray * paths =
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDesktopDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString * desktop_path = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
gets you all the way there.
