Bug Description

when a user opens Nautilus and is present in his/her "user-folder," Nautilus label's the user-folder as "Home" both in the Side-Pane and in the Toolbar. This should be considered a bug!

It is very confusing to ubuntu users (especially new users and non-sophisticated computer users). The user is in his/her "user-folder," yet it is labeled "Home" in the Side-Pane and Toolbar. Making matters worse, there is a real Home folder so users see "home Home" in the Toolbar, which causes them to constantly get confused about which folder they are in. The only way to get an accurate display of location is to us the "location-entry" setting in the Toolbar (e.g., type Ctrl+L).

the Side-Pane should show:
Computer
    User-folder-name
    Desktop
    Documents
    ...

When user is in the Documents folder, instead of the top Nautilus Toolbar showing "home Home Documents" it should show "home user-folder-name Documents"
