I think you have to take into account where this is coming from. This feature 
isn't there because a lot of users want to make/open temporary files, this 
feature is there because one of the developers appearantly occasionally needs 
to access his /tmp directory. (Ie. personally I use /tmp/a as a clipboard)

I don't see a strong need for "Temporary Files" and I don't see a strong need 
for "Root" either. The other ones could be usefull if it weren't for the fact 
that there is quite some redundancy between Documents and Home and that 
clicking on "Network" results in an ugly error message.

Cheers,
Waldo
