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.

Cheers,
