home page button doesn't work

I've set the home page in my preferences but clicking the home button in the toolbar does not take me there, it does nothing.

Yes, the home button is horribly broken.
Depending on settings, it either does nothing, resizes the browser window and then opens an additional layer (instead of opening the home page in the existing layer) or - worst of all - opens all of the tabs of the last session. Drives me nuts.
I've set K-M to START with last session (like most people would), and set the home page to a local file (my homegrown google search form), but it keeps adding all the last session's tabs when I click "home".

What version of K-Meleon are you using?
Are you tried to restart K-Meleon?

1.1.5
This problem persists since I dl'd and installed 1.1.5 two weeks ago.
Before installing, I removed everything (esp. config files) from the previous 1.0.2 install.

Home button works fine to me.
Can you specific what page have you as Home and describe steps to fault?
And what is your Windows system?

Make a copy of toolbars.cfg on your skin folder (the skin you are using now has the same name folder) and try to simplify the Home button replacing the current Home definition with this one:
Home {
ID_NAV_HOME
Go Home
toolhot.bmp[4]
toolcold.bmp[4]
tooldead.bmp[4]
}
If that doesn't work something worst may be corrupted.

JohnHell,
your solution works! Thanks a lot!
Maybe I should have added that I use the "Klassic" skin.
This is what was in toolbars.cfg:
Home{
%ifplugin macros
macros(Home)|Ho&me
Open Home Page or Startup Group. Right-click for more options.
%else
ID_NAV_HOME
Open Home Page
%endif
toolhot.bmp[4]
toolcold.bmp[4]
tooldead.bmp[4]
}
I cannot make any sense of this, but there was something wrong with that, probably.

Probably the Home{...} macro that routes to _Home{...} macro is not well defined or the other in your main.kmm.
I checked the 1.1.5 update and it is correct, so no idea.

I noticed this too -- my workaround is to right click the home button and then choose 'Open home page'. I'm using KM 1.1.4 with the Phoenity skin and the 'start with last session' option selected...
