I agree. I suggest to preverse DOWNLOAD variable at least. If you wish
to download to desktop, you can always reconfigure xdg-useres-dir file.
Old downloads really clutter up desktop (as they do for $HOME too). If
you have all downloads separately in one folder, it's easier to clean up
(delete them).
