           Summary: the use of "home" folder when saving or loading is
                    confusing
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dav1dblunk3tt at hotmail.com


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When saving or loading a file kde dialogs show

>Home

to refer to the users home folder.  Most unix systems put the users' homes in
/home/username.  Hence ">home" is both confusing and annoying as it looks like
it should refer to "/home/" rather than "/home/username/".

Acceptable solutions would be "> Home folder" or ">home>username" but what is
wrong with "/home/username"? 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In and kde 4.4 app save or load a file, the users' home directory appear as
">home"

Actual Results:  
In and kde 4.4 app save or load a file, the users' home directory appear as
">home"

Expected Results:  
The user's home should appear as "/home/username" or "~username" or anyone of
the correct ways to refer to this path instead of the incorrect and confusing
">Home"

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35.4-12-desktop-matt
Compiler: gcc
