... and came to the conclusion that the Desktop was a separate entity to
Home. :-)

[ For those of you who don't use OS X, your home directory looks like this:

  Desktop/ (the desktop)
  Documents/ (random docs dir)
  Library/ (what we'd call dotfiles, essentially)
  Movies/
  Music/
  Pictures/
  Public/ (shared files area)
  Sites/ (where apache-served web stuff goes)

It's pretty effective. But I still prefer desktop == $HOME. ]
