Ok, then I have to remove it in case the home is equal to one of the other roots

I disagree on this one. The paths are presented relative to the home directory,
and relative to the data directory on purpose. What you have in the dropdown
is a set of roots, not a set of bookmarks.
There already not much space in the file chooser, having it
display "c:\documents and settings\" would waste quite a bit of it.
In the specific case of the data directory the paths you get back from the
chooser are relative, so it makes sense to show them as relative as well.

Yup, agreed.
