Maybe a good way to solve this is to create a ~/Documents by default.
X-Chat could then use ~/Documents/DCC to store DCC files and RealPlayer
could store music in ~/Documents/RealMedia or something like that. I'm
pretty sure that's how most apps do it on Windows, putting all their
stuff in "My Documents".
