Personally I do not see any resolution to this stand off given what appears to 
me to be narrow-mindedness, coupled with some fear of  "redundancy in UX."
A simple quote;
"A paper cut is a trivially fixable usability bug that the average user would 
encounter in default installation of Ubuntu or Kubuntu Desktop Edition."
That's the brief.
I am an average user and I haven't used Windows for at least 5 years, yet this 
lack of functionality irks me no end. And to those who wish to argue the all 
mighty purpose of the Templates folder as designed and implemented as a basis 
for a fix, to those I ask was it designed to be a half-way house of blank files 
on their way to the desktop? No I thought not...
So I ask why the hesitation, the lack of inclination or stubborn refusal? to 
explore and develop this nuance into a shortcut of usefulness?

Quote (part): Tobias Wolf, no YOU are right (#55). The menu certainly should 
not be an app launcher alone. It should be a template launcher. The menu should 
open the app with THE TEMPLATE selected open, and any subsequent additions or 
alterations saved only as a generic file. The folder should include a ~/path to 
template.file as a means of adding future templates, rather than have software 
propagate their templates during installation as was discussed earlier.
To me this is a no brainer.
And lastly to all here I apologize for my tone and my frustration regarding 
this matter.
