Press Alt + Home on the keyboard. You home folder will open and the Icon will be shown in the side bar. Right click the icon and shoose the 2nd option from the bottom to keep it in the launcher.

I'm thinking of a reset of Unity http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-reset-unity-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal

Will that solve my problem? A bit afraid it will do something I don't want, as stated by comments. A reset should be built-in. Was before right?

Unity reset did not solve it. Anyone? It's annoying and a constant reminder of how far Ubuntu has to go before it's true contender for replacing Mac OS.

Thanks. "Drag the nautilus-home.desktop file from /usr/share/applications (using Nautilus) to the launcher" solved it.
