I've seen a similar problem where files saved to ~/Desktop do not actually appear on the desktop. I'm not sure if waiting helps, but if I double-click "username Home" and double-click "Desktop", the file appears on the desktop. That is, if I open the Desktop folder manually, the actuall desktop is updated. I should add that my home directory is NFS mounted. Do you have a working fam or gamin setup? That should work with a NFS homedir if you're downloading on the same machine. Recent nautilus in rawhide fixes the ctrl-r on the desktop to work again. There was also a bug in gamin that made it not detect changes to the desktop that has been fixed. I consider this fixed. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020618 Description of problem: When files are saved to (or downloaded to) the Desktop, the new files take a very long time to actually appear on the desktop (presumbly because nautilus has the desktop refresh rate set to some long period). In Gnome-2.4 it was possible to work around this using the Ctrl-R keyboard shortcut to force a refresh of the desktop. Now, this shortcut has been disabled (why?) in 2.6, there doesn't appear to be a good way to force a desktop refresh except by opening the desktop in a new nautilus window and doing a refresh there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6 (but also a problem in 2.4) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download a file to the desktop 2. Wait for it to appear on the desktop 3. ... and wait 4. .... and wait 5. ..... and wait Actual Results: desktop refresh takes far too long Expected Results: new files in the desktop folder should appear immediately Additional info:
