Title:
  print to file always saves to home folder

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to print an email to a PDF by selecting the "Print to File"
  option in the Print dialog, the PDF file is always saved to my home
  folder even if I select "Desktop" or "Documents" in the "Save in
  folder" drop-down list.

  However, if I choose "Other..." from the drop-down, and pick the
  desired destination folder, this time the PDF is correctly saved in
  the choosen folder.

  I tested the Print dialog with GEdit and it does not have this
  problem. I noticed, though, that in that application, there's no "Save
  in folder" drop-down list but only a "File:" button that, when
  clicked, allows me to browse for the desired folder and type in the
  output file name, so the mechanics are a little different there.
