Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Writer exports new unsaved files as pdf under the _hidden_ directory "<user-
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- create new document in openoffice writer (important: don't save the file!)
- export as pdf
- writer opens the save file dialog with the preselected directory "<user-
- that happens every time if you even select another directory before
Unexperienced users cannot find pdf files after that, because they see only "gallery" in the file save dialog and they don't know about hidden directories.
Expected result:
- preselected directory is "Desktop" (or "Documents")
I don't know, whether other linux distributions or windows are affected either. Calc is not affected.

Confirmed... this is a horrible default path, and I'm honestly not sure where it's coming from.
