Comment (by filosofo):

 Actually, is_home() is supposed to return true for the "blog" home page,
 where your most recent posts show up, not the "front" home page.

 Initially, I didn't like the idea either (shouldn't is_home() be true on
 the "home" page?), but now I think it was the right decision.  That's
 because theme developers create templates that test for "is_home()"; if
 you apply it to a page instead of the most recent posts, you usually get
 some odd behavior.
