[daqron <launchpad@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Confirmed in 10.04 LTS. Typing "home" causes lots of hard drive activity
and the waiting mouse indicator for about 20 seconds, then ... nothing
happens.

Typing "~" instead of "home" seems to work (so far).  ArTaX is correct
that killing and restarting gnome-do also fixes the problem.
Accordingly, my workaround for this (and other gnome-do issues) is to
assign the <Super>+space key binding to a perl script that kills and
restarts gnome-do every time I call it.

As a general observation, it is these little annoying bugs that
accumulate workarounds which kill Ubuntu's viability as a mainstream OS.
I love Gnome-Do, and I love Ubuntu, but I find myself cursing OSS every
time one of these bugs manifests and then fails to be addressed in a
timely fashion (i.e., faster than 1.5 years). I know that isn't
necessarily helpful here, but if Ubuntu is going to be marketed as
"easier to use," these little things -- like being able to quickly open
your home directory -- have to be taken seriously.
