Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Short question: how about giving /home/ a gnome 'people' emblem by
default?
Motivation:
Fon non-techies, the *nix filesystem is very confusing. They should only be interested in their home-folder, and therefor we abstract the filesystem a bit (gnome-vfs, left-panel of nautilus) and make open-dialogs start in home, etc.
However, sometimes you *do* end up in the root dir. This can be confusing. Just a subtle hint ("Hey, look here!"), would be nice. After a while people might even recognize that their documents are in in /home/name :)
BTW: due to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/33822 this might not reach it's full potential.
Just a subtlety.
