Respectfully, I disagree with it being obvious. I'm an experienced user, and I did not find the output at all obvious. The problem is that the meaning of the "home" folder, i.e. the folder at the top of the listing, is overloaded. It contains a sum of ALL of the sub folders, plus a "phantom" group of files which are not displayed anywhere in the UI. Try the above steps on some newbie users, and I bet they will be confused (i.e. unable to quickly locate the large file in the home dir).

I see what you mean about the graphic (the folder itself being in the center), but again when you mouse over you get the sum, not the specific size. I.e. when I mouse over, I get 15.8GB, which is [files not displayed anywhere].size + [subfolders].size.
