Hmm yes. I guess this is what SHGetSpecialFolderPath (...,
CSIDL_PERSONAL, ...) returns? But I wonder what this comment (from the
PSDK documentation) means: "This should be distinguished from the
virtual My Documents folder in the namespace. To access that virtual
folder, use the technique described in Managing the File System."
What's a "virtual folder"? Argh, this gets complicated... Unix's HOME
concept is so easy...

Nope. You have to use the Win32 API. GLib doesn't contain
functionality that would be useful on only one platform.
