I think it _is_ a good idea to use a hardcoded path here. After all we are evading saving to /tmp, when another app (Firefox) put a file there. As tempdirs in configured in LibreOffice and Firefox might differ, you end up SOL in that case anyway. So keeping the current heuristic and just being caring about the "tmp" case should be the best we can do anyway. resolving

If you choose Save As, the default saving location will be in /tmp. I just lost a partly written exam that way. I thought it was on my Desktop, but oh no, it was in /tmp and after rebooting it's now gone. The suggestion is to NEVER let /tmp be the default folder in the Save dialog, and to ALWAYS warn the user if saving something there.
