Simply change the permissions for your home directory. This is not a bug, it's simply a different configuration. You can do this from the command line with chmod or with nearly every graphical file manager with a handful of clicks. Piece of cake, and nobody will be able to read/enter your home directory.
Want an even more secure setup? * Change default umask to 0077 (no idea on how to achieve that in Ubuntu, probably a matter of editing a text file as root). * Once done that, from a terminal emulador, run "chmod -R go= ~" without the quotes.
