I think it's a good idea to try to find the "downloads" directory on the
host system, but I think this should be factored out into its own
function, so that we can use it in similar circumstances elsewhere.  

Or perhaps there aren't any other directories like that?  Hm...  well,
"documents", perhaps, and "desktop"...
