While I understand the concerns about every app in the world sticking things in that folder, I think it makes sense that applications that are installed by default in the standard distro should have some basic templates also installed by default in the Templates folder. That would imply that some templates from OpenOffice and GIMP at least should be in there.

As well at that, I'd suggest that we create an Additional Templates package that the user could install via "Add/Remove" that might contain some more arcane OO & GIMP templates, plus perhaps some others for Scribus, Inkscape or other widely used creation applications.

Either way, the current default setup is definitely a paper cut that needs fixing.
