I'll look at that - i'd heard that it was being re-written so i wasnt
too surprised when i didn't see it there. Will ask other garnome-0.19
users if they are having trouble

hmm, yesss, not sure about hat ;)

all the same it would be nice to fix it - i can send a patch to the list
that will do most if not all of what really NEEDS to be done.

yeah, that's what I ment by removed from the UI

sorry that was a bad comparrison to make. I agree that '$home as
desktop' should be in the UI. I think that it should be enabled by
default and the preference nuked.

I was just trying to make a comparrison to show how obscure an option
"showing files in the tree view" is and how it should also be removed
from the ui(as well as have what it does reversed from current
behavior).
