Description of problem:
I am running the stock Fedora Core 3 with up2date updates (Dec 12,
2004).  If I open a terminal and create a directory in $HOME/Desktop
-- for example -- "mkdir $HOME/Desktop/tmpdir" -- or a I create a file
-- "echo > $HOME/Desktop/tmpfile" -- an icon that represents the new
directory or file does NOT appear in the Nautilus desktop like it
should.  This works fine under RedHat 9 and whether the directory is
NFS mounted or local is irrelevant.  The icon correctly appears on the
desktop in RedHat 9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.8.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a terminal.
2. Create a directory -- mkdir $HOME/Desktop/tmpdir.


Actual Results:  The directory exists but an icon that represents the
directory does NOT appear on the Nautilus desktop.

Expected Results:  The directory exists and an icon that represents
the directory appears on the Nautilus desktop.
