Ubuntu creating a new user with Desktop

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit x86 m/c. I am using the following command to create an user.

useradd -d /home/new_user  -m  new_user  -s /bin/bash

But, I am not get to see the "Desktop" directory automatically created.

May I know how to create it by default?

I think that will be automatically created when the user logs in to the system in run level 5.

useradd will not create the desktop directory.
