I have installed a fresh F29 while keeping /home as it was from F28. I am using the KDE Spin. Empty directories with very strange names are created in home folders: ls gives the following names: # ls -1 '0'$'\306' Bureau Documents Images Modèles Musique 'P'$'\334' 'p%'$'\373\331\325''U' Public Téléchargements Vidéos
On another account I have: # ls -1 '`'$'\327' Bureau Documents Images Modèles Musique Public Téléchargements Vidéos
What's that?

One precision: the folders have permissions set to current user and group.

Is this for old users? Do you get those if you add a new user and login as the new user?
What is the contents of /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults

Ditto on the strange directories.
They appear after you login into your window manager (is that the right term?); in my case it is Xfce.
Test: Delete strange directories (they're empty AFAIK).
Logout.
<ctrl-alt-F2> (to open a terminal window) Login Check for strange directories in $HOME.
(None, right?) <ctrl-alt-F1> (back to WM login) Login
Check $HOME for strange directories.
Today mine looked like this: drwxrwxr-x 2 pyz pyz 4096 Jan 14 09:16 ''$'\360'','$'\377''^^U'
fyi,

Hi,
Take a look at this bug report[1]
Is this for old users?
yes
Do you get those if you add a new user and login as the new user?
I would need to try but my father cannot do that himself...
What is the contents of /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults
it's all fine: DESKTOP=Desktop DOWNLOAD=Downloads TEMPLATES=Templates PUBLICSHARE=Public DOCUMENTS=Documents MUSIC=Music PICTURES=Pictures VIDEOS=Videos

The workaround is to delete /etc/xdg/autostart/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop (a symlink) unitil new abrt packages are available.
This was noted in the BZ mentioned by Branko Grubic
