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. -- Post Intrepid.
