Bug Description
All "special" folders like Documents, Videos, Music and so on that appear on the Files & Folders section are related to Nautilus/Gnone bookmarks. All but the Downloads folder. Even if i delete its bookmark in Nautilus, it still shows up in the Files & Folders section, as if it is somehow hard-coded.
Shoudnt Downloads be treated the same way as all other special folders, for consistency? This special handling seems unnecessary, and makes it impossible for the average user to remove the Downloads entry.

Digging in the source code and its revisions, looks like it is indeed hard-coded, included in revision 441 ( http://
It is perfectly undestandable that Home, Desktop, and even Examples (because of its unique nature) should be handled in a special way. But doing so with Downloads prevents the average user from removing it, or force him to edit XDG config files to eliminate the special folder status of the Downloads directory, which i guess is not a desirable solution.
