[Bug 78500] gnome-control-center wipes out /home/user

[thelinuxguy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

How to reproduce : start gnome-control-center, select (the old) disk-
admin icon left behind from dapper, right click with mouse and select
"remove starter" from the popup menu. As a result of this, you'll find
you're /home/user directory wiped clean ! :-( I've just lost my whole
setup and all my documents, just doing these simple steps, I'm lucky to
own a recent disc-image of that partition. ;-)

Version info: gnome-control-center, version 1:2.17.4-0ubuntu1
Partion Info: /dev/hda8 - reiserfs, containing /home only
OS: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
