Title:
  Configurable default save directory

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

  $ dpkg -l *gimp* | grep ii
  ii  gimp                                       2.4.4-1ubuntu1               The GNU Image Manipulation Program
  ii  gimp-data                                  2.4.4-1ubuntu1               Data files for GIMP
  ii  gimp-gnomevfs                              2.4.4-1ubuntu1               GNOME-VFS URI plugin for GIMP

  ii  gimp-python                                2.4.4-1ubuntu1               Python support and plugins for GIMP
  ii  libgimp2.0                                 2.4.4-1ubuntu1               Libraries for the GNU Image Manipulation Pro

  The default directory to save files in the GIMP is in the users home directory.
  i.e. /home/bob/

  I propose to change it, to the "Pictures" subdirectory which already exist.
  So it gets saved to /home/bob/Pictures/

  Else, why do we have "Pictures", "Videos", "Music" and "Documents"
  directory in our home directory, if they are not for use?
