Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Any new user familiar with windows may want to generate a link to his
home directory on the desktop. Given that linking is not possible from
the menu, the user will likely attempt to browse to the home directory
in Nautilus and create a link (which can then be dragged to the
desktop). However, this does not work for the home directory even though
it works for any other folder in the home directory. This definitely
comes across as a bug to any new linux adopter. (I'm also tired of being
asked how to do this...gconf-editor.)
One work around would be to have an option to "create a desktop link"
when right clicking a directory path.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Confirmed
