Thanks for the hint.  The .hidden file looks useful for the odd file or
folder you'd like to hide but a bit unwieldy for the home directory with
hundreds of config files and directories, since it doesn't seem to allow
regrex.  It also operates on the both  desktop_is_home_dir and home
directory itself, rather than individually.
