Any directories or files whose name starts with a period (.) is a
hidden directory or file which will not be visible by default. In
nautilus, in the 'View' menu, click 'Show Hidden Files' to make these
visible.

The directory displayed as 'Home' in nautilus when started with gksu
is root's home directory, not yours, and will have different contents.
