Gnome How to change desktop directory?

I accidently removed my Desktop directory and now Gnome showes me the contents of my home directory on desktop. How do I point out which directory to use for desktop icons?

vi ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

The first uncommented line will read XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME"

Change that to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"

Restart nautilus.

nautilus -q
