GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 674679
nautilus uses Home, gtk uses $username
Last modified: 2012-04-26 16:30:02 UTC
Nautilus should be consistent with GTK file dialogs in how it names the home directory. Currently, Nautilus uses "Home" and GTK uses "$USERNAME".
Back when we did the last Nautilus redesign we consolidated around 'Home' - before then it was much more inconsistent than it is now. Relevant - http://blogs.gnome.org/calum/2009/01/12/different-day-same-places/
