Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Disk Usage Analyzer has the following error: (reported in gnome bugzilla
as Bug 424092)

When i chose a mounted external disk to scan, everything works ok. However,
when it detects a change in the scanned filesystem, it displays a dialog with
the following message
"Rescan your home folder?
The content of your home folder has changed. Select rescan to update the disk
usage details."

Which ofcourse is confusing to the user because i am not scanning my home
folder.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Scan a mounted filesystem that is not root or home.
2. Make some changes from outside the app
3. When you want to expand a branch, it will show the wrong message.


Actual results:
The dialog with the wrong message appears.

Expected results:
Just a change of message. For the case of a mounted filesystem, the mountpoint
would be shown i guess.

Does this happen every time?
It seems so. Although i didn't test for all different cases.
