[Bug 536902] [NEW] Wrong folder used for saving received files

[Milo Casagrande]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When I receive a file with Empathy, and I have to choose where to save
the file, the default directory that appears in the save dialog is
always "File system" (the root directory). This behavior could be
misleading to normal users or to users that are not paying attention
where exactly the file will be saved.

The same "problem" is present when I want to send a file to a user. If I
choose Contact -> Send file, the default directory to select a file
from, is always the root one.

IMHO, sane defaults could be:
- $HOME/Downloads (the default XDG directory for downloads) for receiving files
- $HOME for sending files
