Changing underlying *nix mechanisms would complicate things too much and could bring a lot of confusion. I believe that the best solution is something in the line of:
if directory_name == os.environ['HOME']: icon_name = _("Home") There is nothing wrong with the term 'Home' for a home directory. In unix world this is your home, everything that is yours should be there. :) When I want to see my files I want to go to my home not to BigWhale's Home. Referring to myself in third person feels a little bit silly. I vote for "Home" all around. Places, file dialogs and nautilus windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382703 Title: "Home Folder" has 3 different names -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
