Two additional comments:
* First, `--mirror` might be what the relation between 'desktop'
  and 'home' repositories should be.
* Second, even if you can connect only from 'home' to 'desktop',
  but not from 'desktop' to 'home', the refspec mechanism of Git
  is flexible enough that you can emulate 'push' with 
  appropriately configured 'fetch', and vice versa.
