Either Desktop or Home should be removed from the Computer menu when desktop_is_home_dir is set.

[Nathan Howell]

When the desktop_is_home_dir nautilus option is set, the Desktop and Home
entries on the Computer menu become redundant. One of them should be removed
when the option is set. It's debatable which one to remove, but I lean towards
removing Desktop, since more documentation points users at their home directory
in instructions than their desktop.

[Curtis Hovey (sinzui)]

I think Desktop should be used in preference to Home, and that the default
setting is desktop_is_home_dir. 'Home' has yet to mean anything to me on Linux
or the Web, and I've used them for 10 years. 'Desktop' is more concrete, and is
a term understood by the average computer user. I wont dispute the
documentation argument, but I think that documentation is a task for
developers/writers to solve for the user. We should use the language of the
user, not the hacker.

That said. I recognize that Ubuntu de-emphaiszes the desktop as a workspace.
It is now, like home, a starting point, a temporary place to get your bearings.
