I really don't want to do this, in particular because ideally i see the 
downloader being a seperate entity from the web browser itself. Furthermore 
as long as the download folder is easily available from the filesystem it 
seems like unneeded menu bloat (why is fast access needed to this folder 
from the browser and not the documents folder for instance). On a more 
practical note, what does "Open Download Folder" mean when the default 
download folder is the desktop? We surely don't want to open a nautilus 
window pointing at this folder (breaking the spatial metaphor of the file 
system would be one of many problems with this).
