 ...because something immediately creates the folder "home" again with
 nothing but the folder "Desktop" in it (no files at all), so you can't
 rename "home" back to what it was before. This messes a lot of stuff up.

 To fix this, either:
 1. prevent home from being renamed, ever
 2. don't create the folder "home" if it doesn't exist.
