What do people think about changing the default value of
/apps/nautilus-open-terminal/desktop_opens_home_dir to TRUE?

This key controls what happens if you open a terminal with a right-click
menu on the desktop. By default, it opens the terminal in ~/Desktop, but
with this key, it will open the terminal in ~/.

I've no opinion on this since I don't use nautilus-open-terminal, and
both values have some drawbacks (if set to TRUE: it will not work as
expected if you want to manipulate a file that's on the desktop; if set
to FALSE, it will not open the terminal where you want if you use this
feature as a kind of terminal launcher).

I don't think I've used this feature even once (I'm a fixed terminal
layout kind of guy), but if I were to use it, I'd expect it to open the
terminal in the directory I'm pointing at - i.e. ~/Desktop/ in this
case.
