in natty, nautilus do not automatically refresh Desktop window

[Romano Giannetti]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Starting with natty, Nautilus do not refresh automatically the icon view of the Desktop folder. If I save/move a file in this folder, it is not shown (nor in the desktop of Unity) until I click on refresh or press F5. In other folders, nautilus works as usual.

A notify problem?

Will attach screenshots showing this.

As you can see, there are two files in ~/Desktop (sorry for the screenshot window), but in nautilus and in the desktop there are just one icon.
Pressing f5 solves the problem.

I was trying to reproduce it to get a better screenshot, but seems that cd-ing to the Desktop folder and issuing a cp command there solved the thing, I cannot reproduce. But I am positive that I had the problem consistently in the last week.

Puzzled.

I think what you're describing is an extension of this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/776904
(that is if you also have problems with windows not being redrawn until they're resized).
Disabling all mipmapping in ccsm should fix this.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
