the proposed patch has been applied to bluez-gnome 0.27 which I'm about to
upload.

I'm reluctant to do this, see below.

This is right, nowadays gnome tracks movements of user dirs and updates xdg user
dirs accordingly.

I've added a README.Debian in the form of:

bluez-gnome for Debian
======================

In case bluetooth-applet fails to receive files try starting bluetooth-applet
from the command line, it should output

G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD is not set

or

G_USER_DIRECTORY_PUBLIC_SHARE is not set

in this case check if ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs contains the correct
directories, if that file doesn't exist installing the xdg-user-dirs package
and running /usr/bin/xdg-user-dirs-update will create it. 

would be that ok?
