Bug Description

Try this:

1- Show desktop.
2- Take a screenshot (with Print Screen key) and save to the desktop.
3- The screenshot icon appears automatically in the desktop? try again several times to verify it.

Sometimes I have to refresh the desktop with F5 key because the icon did not appear.

I get this sometimes, but for example right now couldn't repro it.

But I have basically same problem when I create a file in an external program and save it to my mounted partition (ext4) - I have to refresh the folder manually. Possibly the same problem?

13.04, Nautilus 3.6.3.
