After some unsuccessful attempts to put a Home icon on a Gnome panel, I
came up with the following funky solution: put an application launcher
to nautilus on the panel and change the icon appearance from the
nautilus shell to home-like. Copying the Home icon from the desktop
were unsuccessful.
Is there a standard way to do this? If so, what is it?
Thanks - jon

In Coonfig--Editor click on:
/app/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible
By Coonfig--Editor you must mean:
Panel->Applications->System Tools->Configuration Editor
and in this I should check
/app/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible
This controls whether the home directory icon is visible on the desktop,
not the panel.
Interesting to know. The fact that the home directory icon is not an
ordinary icon must be the reason that it can't be copied anywhere or
dragged or copied to the panel.

Did you try the obvious: Pick a home folder somewhere on the desktop,
the one on the desktop, or one in the places menu, then drag and drop it
onto the panel?
Sorry to be vague. I tried to copy the icon on the desktop many times.
The home folder on the desktop can't be copied anywhere or dragged or
copied to the panel. See my next posting.
However Places->Home Folder can be dragged (copied) anywhere.
Another question: Where is the standard icon that Gnome uses for
"Sombody's Home" located? It's not at .../user-home.*, which is the
usual path. I'm using a rather attractive icon at
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/24x24/mimetypes/user-home.icon
but this is not the same as the one on the desktop.

Hi Jon,
You were very close to the proper solution.
Right click on the panel and select add to panel,
Then select custom application launcher,
When the new window comes up leave the type alone,
In the name field put Home or Home Directory (as to your preference)
In the command filed put nautilus /home/username <-- substituting that for
your actual username,
You can decide to put a comment or not in the comment, it really makes no
difference.
Also, you can select an icon by clicking on the icon to the left.
Hope that helps you.
Take Care and Be Well,
Landor
