Comment (by andrea_r):
Just to toss in something I see from many new users with this setting - if
the theme uses a home.php to present something other than a list of recent
blog posts, the user almost always tries to set a specific page as the
home page. Some going so far as to making a page called "home". (possibly
this could be a reserved name?)
If the home.php has a bunch of widget areas, the user is confused that
settings a static page as home overrides this. (Yes, I am aware of when to
use home.php versus front-page.php, I'm just reporting user confusion.)
