Actually, I wasn't that silly. Working further on this, I ended up
realising that the environment variable is called
"GTK_DEFAULT_FILECHOOSER_DIR", not "GTK_DOCUMENTS_DIR" or anything
close to it.
This environment variable is only here to allow the user to specify a
default directory, not to change his documents folder. Or at least,
that's my understanding of it.
So, unless some voices raise here (or on #ubuntu-desktop when I'm
there), I revert the changes I made to that part of the patch.

Ok, I now have a patch callled 000_pathbar_localization.patch for this.

Still need something like this. I'll modify the patch for the
gnome-panel too if someone draws one that pleases the desktop-team.

I guess it's already too late for this :-)
