[solved] Gnome-do can't open home folder

I've been using gnome-do for a while now and like it, but I can't get it to open my home folder.  This is with the docky theme.  If I try to use it to open my home folder.

What I mean is type super-space to bring up the text input box and then type "home", if I run the action to open home folder it brings up the busy cursor icon but then never opens the home folder.

I can work around this by enabling the files and folders plugin and then typing my username, but I would rather have the home folder thing work.

Anyone else using gnome-do on Arch have this problem or any idea why I'm having this problem?

Are you using Gnome and Nautilus?

Yes it's a fairly standard Gnome install.

I guess I will take this issue upstream to the Gnome-Do devs if no one here has any ideas.

Re: [solved] Gnome-do can't open home folder

Well apparently this is a known issue that the gnome-do devs are not too interested in fixing https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/290136

Edit: Actually looks like it was a nautilus bug, there is a workaround in the bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/290136/comments/48, you only need to make the following change: in /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop, change "Exec=nautilus --no-desktop" to "Exec=nautilus --no-desktop ."  - Just add a space and a period.
