Bug Description

 * Nemo version 4.8.6
 * Windowed Nemo
 * Distribution - Ubuntu MATE 21.04 (Alpha/Beta), installed Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix 21.04 environment
 * Intel i5-7200U CPU, Intel HD Graphics 620 GPU
 * 64 bit

Issue
While working on an icon theme, and manually replacing images going through the folders, nemo crashes. I got this twice-one was a trap, another was a segfault.

Mar 31 16:21:35 Joshua-PC kernel: [ 574.248846] nemo[5129]: segfault at 5de ip 00007f0ab9562c60 sp 00007ffe4068fe48 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.6705.0[7f0ab953b000+30000]
Mar 31 16:25:05 Joshua-PC kernel: [ 784.271992] traps: nemo[7460] trap stack segment ip:7f9eaa572db7 sp:7ffceefa9f40 error:0 in libgtk-3.so.0.2404.21[7f9eaa1fc000+385000]

(above is two different crashes)

Steps to reproduce
It just happened, quickly. I can't get an exact thing, but this is the closest idea:

    Open nemo.. twice. Two different windows, two different directories
    Move icons from folder into the other folder in the different window. The images must have the same name and probably symlinked.
    Replace the images for all of them
    Whenever doing some action, like switching out of the window, or maybe Alt+Tabing or going to another folder by going back a directory, nemo will crash/trap.
    Hopefully a clear reason will be found for this on reproducing.

Expected behaviour
Nemo won't crash.

Other information
This is an Alpha/Beta build and I actually haven't updated the system yet.

without full backtrace with symbols or easy way to reproduce (for take backtrace) is difficult debug it
from a fast search in upstream fixes probably this patch (https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/73aafd8897ac00a7b256249c6d4c41dd2d9a138f) and its regression fix (https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/463eca27997f1af26b9164c1b937c01dbdb00df6) can be related, if you want do a fast test applying them. But without backtrace it's just a vague guess.
