User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1

Default downloading directories are created even if checkbox 'Always ask me where to save files' is checked.
For downloading files, directory '~/Desktop' is created.
For saving images, directory '~/Downloads' is created.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In preferences, choose tab 'Downloads' and check 'Always ask me where to save files'
2. Choose any file to download.

or:
2. Point to any image and select 'Save image as...' from context menu.
Actual Results:  
For files, directory '~/Desktop' is created before directory selection dialog appears.
For images, directory '~/Downloads' is created before directory selection dialog appears.

Expected Results:  
No new directories should be created.

Shouldn't the default be same for both? Preferences shows 'Downloads'.

Then this sounds like a download manager backend and therefore toolkit problem to me.
