I like the way it is done in konqueror. I think I will steal that idea for kfm. However, I see one problem. The "/home/" path is hard coded. Is this such a good idea ? I mean if the home directory for users is set to anything other than /home, it won't work. How can we find the HOME directory of users ? This particularly becomes an issue if the "root" user does ~joeuser and the users home directory is something other than /home, for example /users/joeuser.
