Using the "Root Terminal" icon = gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
I checked on both computrs, and $HOME in that sell is set to /root
Not sure if this is good or bad but it's not due to my intervention.

So, no, it wouldn't have been set so, my current test shows it's /root
on both computers and there's no reason why it would have been different
last night.

We're forgetting here that this happened with a clean install, purge
never having taken place. Are you gonna make me pull out my eee-pc and
clean-partition and clean-install debian from scratch? Because I think
that would produce the same result.
