The xdg-user-dirs-gtk package in Fedora is still on version 0.11 that was released in 2022 (!) instead of the recently released 0.16 version. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xdg-user-dirs-gtk https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-user-dirs-gtk/-/tags The outdated version has multiple issues and does not work well with recent GNOME releases because it has no systemd service (that is now required). Please, consider updating it or at least backporting the systemd service patch (see #c1). The update should be pushed into Rawhide, F43 and F42.
Alternatively, please consider at least backporting the following fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-user-dirs-gtk/-/commit/c5273cb613b069019aff7c969b3600f32be628c4
The systemd unit (see previous comment) should also be backported to F43 and F42. Thanks!
