OK, we all know that ~ means "my home dir" but hey, my mom doesn't know that :p.
~ can also mean many different things in various languages and in various
different contexts.

Shouldn't gedit not show ~ and instead display this as /home/user or mabye just
"home" or "Home Folder" like the places menu? Something other than just ~.

This can seem weird to people unfamilure with what ~ means in the UNIX world.
