The setting for the front page needs to be the real path (eg node/1234 not some_node) for drupal_is_front() to work correctly. However on the blocks configuration for which pages a block should be displayed needs to be the alias not the real path (eg some_node not node/1234).

This effects the displaying of the breadcrumbs (since when drupal_is_front() returns TRUE, breadcrumbs don't display) or the use of the option which will not work.

At least part of this issue is a dup of http://drupal.org/node/77479, but the patch is different. I'm not certain, but I think the other one is probably the correct fix.

@gordon: please mark this as a dup if you agree.

I am not sure which is right. They are both correct solutions for depending what the site_frontpage should be.

Should it be the real path or can it be an alias?

Have this question answered and you will know which is the correct solution.

@gordon: From the user's point of view, I don't see a good reason to prohibit the use of an alias. Marking this as a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/77479
