Binary package hint: cups-pdf
When an user use cups-pdf backend to generate a pdf file, he do not know where the result is.
Possible solutions :
1/ after successful pdf generation open nautilus on ~/PDF

4/ same as 3/ but place file on [Documents]
5/ Create as [Documents] a menu shortcuts [PDF generated]

2. 4. and 5. were previously attempted, but users found this distracting or, in a few cases, that it could put existing documents in danger of being overwritten in case a similarly-named document already exists there.
1 and 3. might be possible, now that CUPS is finally Dbus-aware, so adding some support for this in CUPS-PDF too might not be entirely impossible, but it would probably render the codebase incompatible with older CUPS releases. Still, investigating this might be a good Summer of Code project. It would be useful for whoever attempts this to contact upstream and coordinate with him.
