It doesn't seem to make much sense to me either to put the link to the
browser in account settings. Putting those two together is blurring the
line between 'prefs/settings' and 'content I have on the server.'
'Content on the server' is the same stuff whether you look at it in the
collection browser, or in the normal UI view.
If we're going to be implementing actual dropdown menus anyway, why
would we not put the link to the home collection browser in one of the
menus, like you would with a normal app? That might make more sense than
blurring together conceptually unrelated items for a sort of short-term
convenience.
This also applies to the idea of asking people to choose which UI they
want before they log in seems kind of clunky and unnecessarily
complicated. Why not just add/remove items in a drop-down menu?

Would putting this in the 'Settings' dialog make more sense if we
renamed 'Settings' to 'Your account'?

Priscilla, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the thinking behind
providing access to the home directory UI through settings is that an

manipulating the contents of their account (e.g. adding and revoking

browser UI.
i don't see how this relates to settings in any way.
