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. digger
