yeah, in linux the UI is separate and modular from the actual OS (unlike, say windows), so things like desktop directories aren't standard and are distro specific (and mainly included to help windows users).

they'll all have home and user directories, etc which is more of a standard place to store that kind of stuff. if you want you can use openLDAP to do single sign on to either windows or linux (in a networked environment) and share settings etc between them. it used to be a really hard thing to do, but now, not so much.
