You're the boss, boss. But I'd argue that it ought to be there,
because not having it creates the aforementioned problem with the file
selector, and is inconsistent. Sure, it's Gtk pressing out hand on the
issue, and Firefox makes it worse by defaulting to saving downloads
there.

It's consistent, and it cuts down on wasted bookmark space in the file
selector, where the space really matters. I felt Gtk+ should never
have included it in the first place, but there you go.

If you still disagree, I'm done making my case ;-)
