BTW, the RB Help has some clues as to where *it* thinks these folders
are/should be in Linux (substitute "folder path" wherever you see FolderItem
below):

DesktopFolder tries to return the desktop folder for the current user's
Window Manager. If there is a folder named "Desktop", it will return a
FolderItem to that. Otherwise, if there is a folder in the current user's
home directory named ".gnome-desktop", it will return a FolderItem to that.

ApplicationSupportFolder returns a FolderItem for the Home directory for the
logged in user, /home/username/. Typically, when an application wants to
create an application support file, it will create a folder in the Home
directory corresponding to the application's name. For example, for MyApp,
it will use the path: "/home/username/MyApp/".

PreferencesFolder returns a reference to the current user's Home directory,
/Home/username.
