There is a bug posted here:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468293

with no follow up since it was posted last October. I just updated it
with the following info:


In follow up, this behavior is controlled in:

  /apps/nautilus-open-terminal/desktop_opens_home_dir

Note that this is NOT:

  /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir

which will change the behavior of the terminal when opened from the
background menu, but it will ALSO make your desktop your home directory.

This bug is probably more correctly filed against "nautilus-open-terminal".

The following appears in the NEWS file for 0.9:

Add GConf key for deciding whether right-clicking the desktop opens home
directory or desktop directory.
Use g_get_user_special_dir() to determine the desktop directory, and falls back
to ~/Desktop (#468955).


HTH,
