You could install Gnome :) Nautilus doesn't display $HOME on the desktop, but it does display $HOME/Desktop, which is close enough for me. Better, even, since $HOME tends to be a lot more cluttered than I want my desktop to be. I tend to use it to keep stuff temporarily until I do something with them, e.g folders of photos dragged off my camera, or downloaded links dragged out of Firefox. Simon.
