XDG folders are special locations - that's why they have their own icons.
The same kind of differentiation isn't possible in the context of the UNIX
filesystem. If someone is messing with these kinds of directories they already
know what they do.

Title:
let's add a 'people' emblem to /home.
Status in Nautilus:
Won't Fix
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug 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.
