all Transmission does is this:

    w = gtk_file_chooser_button_new( "title", 
GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER );
    list = get_recent_destinations( );
    for( walk = list; walk; walk = walk->next )
        gtk_file_chooser_add_shortcut_folder( GTK_FILE_CHOOSER( w ), 
walk->data, NULL );

there don't appear to be any GTK+ properties to allow for
disambiguation.

My gut reaction is the solution is to rename (or symlink) your remote
download Directory "Downloads-remote" and your friend's as "Downloads-
friend", but I'll bump this upstream to the GTK+ for a second opinion...
maybe other people have hit this problem in other applications too.

same name in the GtkFileChooserButton's pulldown list
+ It's difficult to distinguish between multiple directories with the same name
