I've asked Gian to bring this up on the usability mailing list, because
I think there should be a policy, or at least discussions on default
save locations. We have to investigate the ways people use their folder
hierarchy (was that done already?). For Epiphany, using ~/Downloads, or
~/Desktop/Downloads has proven to be appropriate, when looking how my
mother uses documents, we might rather have ~/Documents as default save
location, if the software in question was not spawned from an
interactive shell.

The long-term solution is to dump everything in ~/Documents by default,
and use document tagging for organizing the stuff, and offer
functionalities on a bunch of tagged files, like

 package everything regarding "Skyscraper Project 2005" into one tar
file and send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

but that's just my two cents and quiet unrelated :).
