Errrrr....

They save to: "~/" because that is their working directory.

Go to you Desktop directory with Konqueror::KFM

Select: Tools => Open Terminal

Now, start the non-kde the application by using the command line in the 
Konsole.

Now save a file.  What directory does it save it in.

See, it CAN be changed, the default just needs to be configurable 
somewhere.  Well, actually I already know where it should be:

	System Administration => Paths

in the Control Center.
