Solved How to populate Home folder of a user with "well known" Directories (like Documents, Music, Download, etc)

Hi, I have 13-RELEASE with XFCE desktop, that I installed with desktop-installer port. After a first login I noticed that my users home folder is empty. I am pretty sure that in my previous attempts with older releases, this folder somehow got "automagically" populated with usual folders like Documents, Music, Download, etc. I have even noticed at one point where I switched to my Slovenian locale on system, that those mentioned folders got renamed to my language. Is this done by XFCE? Or some other script? How do I get this usual folder structure in my /home? I know mkdir command, but I would like to know how to trigger this creation automatically.

xdg-user-dirs-update in my $HOME/.xinitrc does this. You can find it from port devel/xdg-user-dirs
