here they report the same

baobab:
/ = 10,7gig  = 100% (whole used space, on all partitions)

from this 100% /home uses:
/home = 6,5GB = 61,3%

dum is aliased to `/usr/bin/du --max-depth=1 -k | sort -n'

/
11741198 *1k

/home
6834536  *1k

please note baobab also reports here: 10.8gig used and 46gig are still
availble (in whole over all different partitions that i have)

corresponding df:
Filesystem    Type   1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda11    ext3       39425      6803     32622  18% /home

all these data is coherent here.

Do you have several partitions?
