This still (surprisingly) seems to be an issue in Ubuntu 22.04 ...

Perhaps Ubuntu could add support for having the templates in a hidden
folder such as `~/.templates`, and ship it just a single empty file, as
a starting example? I just tried this experiment, which worked well:

`mkdir ~/.templates`
`touch ~/.templates/document.txt`

Edit relevant bit in `~/.config/user-dirs.dirs`:

`XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/.templates"`

I was able to right-click in a folder and given a "New Document >
document" option.
