Title:
Printing to PDF/PS/SVG defaults to a hidden (.name) filename

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
When one prints to PDF/PS/SVG from Firefox, the filename defaults to
".pdf" or ".ps" or ".svg"
These filenames are hidden by default by in GNOME and it is my opinion that
this is a bad practice.
If one forgets to specify a filename then the file is hidden in the user's
home directory. This could potentially be very confusing for a new user to
Linux, Ubuntu, or GNOME. Even I spent a while looking for a file I printed
that I had forgotten to specify a filename for. If it is possible, I would
like to see a default filename of "[Window_Title].pdf" or at least "output.pdf"
Might this be suitable for inclusion in the current round of paper cuts?
I also checked the same dialog in Chromium and it defaulted to
"output.pdf"
