Syntactically it's better. Unfortunately, it also alters the meaning
quite a bit. For non-scandinavians, it means "At %s's home" or similar,
pointing at a place you are at, rather than describing it as being the
home of %s. It's a pretty strange thing to say about an item in the
UI...

BTW, I'm no good at Norwegian, but I thought "Hjem til %s" rather meant
"[going] home to %s"?
