is_front is not set when using path-alias for default frontpage [#26385]

Site-Settings
default homepage -> "node"

path alias
node -> "home"

bug
when "home" is called, $is_front is not set but should be,
because node = home(path-alias)

see line 80 in phptemplate.engine

  if (drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']) == variable_get('site_frontpage', 'node')) {
    $vars['is_front'] = true;
  }

i think it should be

  if (drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']) == variable_get('site_frontpage', drupal_get_path_alias('node')) {
    $vars['is_front'] = true;
  }

The fix above works fine.

Just wanted to comment that if you have more than one alias for that front_page page (say 'home' and 'welcome') and use any alias but the first one created, the is_front variable (even with the fix) won't work.

It just happened to me yesterday on a site where I had created the alias 'welcome' for the front_page generated splash page a few weeks ago, but forgot about it and created a new alias 'home' for it and it took me a while to discover why is_front was not working.

Cheers.
