The folder icon in the download preferences pane should be a button which opens
the downloads folder, like it does in the Donwloads manager.

hrm, this UI is a bit different on windows (thanks for screenshots, Gavin) and
doesn't me think it's going to do anything useful. Should we fix the UI on
windows, or make the mac version less confusing?

Mano, is it standard Mac behaviour to have a button that represents the
"currently selected folder" and acts as a "open folder in Finder"? It's not all
that commonly seen in Windows (Outlook has an "Open folder..." button, but
that's pretty much the only one I could find).

I think what we want to do here is make the Mac version less confusing. :)
