Two buttons when we can go with just one (using $HOME as desktop)??? 
This doesn't help to make a simpler, cleaner, gnome desktop.

Find files faster? I can't imagine a faster way to find my files than 
having them in front of me. I can't also understand why people insist in 
having two different locations for something unique, which force two 
buttons on file selectors. In the old gnome1 days, my $HOME was a crap. 
Now, with desktop = $HOME, everything is cleaned up. It forces you to 
clean up things.

If we are going to let users crap the $HOME dir, and have a tidy 
desktop, then PLEASE, remove the $HOME button from everywhere. It does 
not make any sense.
