The home folder doesn't have to do anything with the underlying file
system, in fact it's just OpenTracker which creates that (sometimes
annoying) home directory to have a place where to put files when you
move them to Trash.
It's that simple.
We could just move the Trash directory to the root (of the disk, not
root fs) and have a link to it from the Desktop. That would also do the
trick and you could still hide that directory from within Tracker.
I would also vote for moving "Desktop" into the config folder where
there would be no reason to hide it any longer (even Windows doesn't
hide it).
Adios...
Axel.
