My home directory has everything. I have my own structure within my home
directory, but it'd be great if things would just start their open/save
dialogs right there. Certainly not in /, or a hidden directory anywhere.

OpenOffice.org is now sane enough to respect the mighty ~, but still too
many programs don't seem to understand how most people work. For
instance, xmms defaults to /. Perhaps they assume that everyone who has
music, is a home user who has an mp3 disk mounted somewhere; I don't
know why they do this.
