Is testing the front page with "is_home('frontpage')" in trunk?  It
doesn't seem to work for me.

What happens for me is that is_home() and is_home('frontpage') return
true only on the main blog view.  Wouldn't it make sense to keep
is_home() for the home page, and have something like is_blog_main()
for the posts?

1) get_option('home') returns the site's front page.
2) A number of themes seem to use is_home() or the home.php template
to set whether a "splash" page menu or the like should appear.
