Really?  On my wife's German-localized Mac, they're called the same.  It
appears the Finder displays them differently.

Just changing the paths would also cause problems for people using a
shared home directory between (regular) Unix and Mac (like me), or
switching between the X11 and the Carbon.  We could probably look for
them if the searches at the usual locations fail.  Would that be
reasonable?
