All though Firefox, did not do this, just now tried "Seamonkey", and it immediately created a new Desktop directory. Than is sad, in my mind that classifies as mal ware, no Browser should do that.
Well, maybe not excatly mal ware, it seems harmless enough, but in any event no browser should be makeing un wanted directories, like that.

brudan>>I'm guessing a badly-behaved GUI application is to blame, but I use very few GUI applications. The only ones I use at least weekly are xterm, xfe, thunderbird, iridium, filezilla, mpv, redshift, xscreensaver. I think that's it (iridium runs with unveil, so it's probably not a suspect).
However, the OP says they use iridium, but still, I would check it, and see.
===edit ======
Trying Iridium my self, and seems ok, no Desktop dir got created so far.
