IIRC you can run "gconf-editor" and look in the "nautilus" folder
under "apps" and there's a setting for the path of the folder that is
displayed on the desktop. If it's not there, it's somewhere to be
found in gconf-editor.
Unfortunately, I don't have a F14 box handy and GNOME 3 doesn't even
have a desktop, so I can't go looking for it ATM.

T.C.:
Thanks. I dug into it and found Apps->Nautilus->Desktop->Preferences and
a tick box about Desktop_Is_Home_Dir which looks exactly like what I
need to correct given its description and the problem I am seeing.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do anything (I am logging out and
logging back in to make sure each test is with a fresh start-up ... I
can't believe that I would need to reboot for something like this).
I am going to have to dig a bit more by comparing my account versus
another that behaves to see what the difference is, but you got me
pointed in the right direction and that's a huge help
