Description antistress 2009-04-10 10:31:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
After a clean install of Ubuntu Jaunty beta, i've made a screenshot using gnome-screenshot and it asked me to save the file in my ∕home directory whereas i expected that it asked me to save the file in my ∕Pictures directory.


Steps to reproduce:
Take a screenshot

Actual results:
default Save folder is ∕home

Expected results:
default Save folder should be XDG_PICTURES_DIR

Does this happen every time?
yes on Ubuntu Jaunty beta
