[wp-hackers] Fix for is_home() in combination with custom post type?

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

query_posts is doing it

You should use a different method for what your trying to accomplish, as in 
the loop that uses the query,  me?  I use some custom functions I wrote that 
protect() and unprotect() the main wp_query while doing any other loops 
within sections, i.e. custom post type sections

That way as soon as the loop is over it resets it back to the default 
wp_query and post data
