I thought about that, but it's really a security issue. obexd might be
running in a different context than the "application" telling it where
to write. For example, my share application might be restricted to write
new files in ~/Downloads, but could tell obexd to write to ~/.ssh/etc.

This is what I intend to use in gnome-user-share. obexd would write
files with unique filenames to /run/user/<id>/obexd and move it
~/Downloads after uniquifying the name (eg. sending 2 files called
"foo.jpg" should give me 2 files, not overwrite the first one as it does
now).
