This might get the user thinking that the app would pick a random
directory on your hard drive to put it in.

Every other security feature we put in the browser for the users
protection (not allowing web pages to do malicious stuff, no cross-frame
scripting, whatever) isn't optional. Why should this be?

Anyway, this discussion has been had. If someone wants it changed, produce
patches and then we'll have something to talk about :-)
