As I already said—no, it shouldn't.  Pictures I created should be
there (since it's quite probable I'll be creating my own pictures),
but any downloaded pictures should go someplace else: for now,
Downloads.

Now, with "Music" it's not quite like it.  I'm not going to *create*
any music, so any Music might end up in the Music folder, and I won't
mind.

I'd hate to see a mixup of what I did create with what I didn't
create.  And this is very much user-style (i.e. some users might
really create music).

Lets not remove at least one separation we already have, and which we
can easily establish on a system (in most cases): user-created data
from others' data.

Cheers,
Danilo
