I suggest to use the following as default in future releases: /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir = true
The rationale is that the home directory seems like a very logical place where you drop your Documents, Downloads, etc... and you see your home and all you can reach from there. Currently, ~/.gnome-desktop is used. That has some problems, specially when the user starts discovering the command line: <<this says I'm on my home, but I don't see my Documents, my Downloads, etc... where the hell is my stuff?>> There is another benefit that is loosing the 'Home' icon on the desktop which then becomes useless and nautilus doesn't draw it.
