[Usability] Home directory naming in Nautilus



The new file dialog-like navigation buttonbar in Gome 2.12 creates inconsistencys

If you open your home directory with nautilus in navigational mode amd press the up arrow in the toolbar you end up with the nautilus navigation buttons reading:
[ ] [home] [Home] and a folder view showing the users home folder
(See attatchment 1.png)

I would suggest that the same name for the home folder was used throughout the
system.

As I see it, there are two ways to accomplish that:

1) Use the actual file system name everywhere. E.g [] [home][juser] instead of [ ] [home][Home]. This would solve the problem of having the same folder being referred to by different names. 2) Use the real name of the user i.e "Joe User" followed by the actual folder name. This would have the advantage of being more intuitive as most people think of their coworkers or friends
   by their real name, not by their unix login name.

   It could look something like attatchment 2.png
