This is already there, right? If I try to open a certain folder or samba share which takes a while, then a message box appears with: "You can stop opening this folder by clicking cancel" or something like that.
I think that most users are quite ignorant about those buttons. The only users that will know what those buttons are for are power users and they will probably know that F5 will reload the folder (or Ctrl-R) and Esc will make it stop loading stuff. But then again: maybe they think that those shortcuts only work in an Internet browser and not in a file browser.
My mom (uses Ubuntu on her laptop) doesn't have a clue about what those buttons are for. My roommates (who make use of the kitchen pc that I set up) have a better understanding, but I have never seen them use those buttons.
The best thing that could be done is a case study, observe people working with Nautilus who don't know too much about pc's.
