Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-06-07 22:13:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Enabling Preferenves / View / Show hidden and backup files is not applied
immediately. Reloading the current dir does not apply it either. The user has to
open a new Nautilus window, to make the change appear.

However, *disabling* this is applied immediately.

Using browser mode, FWIW.

Does this happen every time?

Thanks for your bug report! I suppose this has to do with the way
fm_directory_view_init_show_hidden_files is invoked and whether the mode is
NAUTILUS_WINDOW_SHOW_HIDDEN_FILES_DEFAULT.

This looks quite safe, even this late. Commiting.
