None of which changes the behavior of the GTK+ file selector, of course.
I suppose one *could* replace ~/Documents with a symlink to where you'd
rather have it point.  Of course, ~/Documents would still exist, but
that might allow some measure of flexibility.  Caveat: I haven't tested
this, so I can't be sure how well it works.
