need to refresh the view to get a new directory listed

That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/52941 "... If I create a new folder with right-click, it won't appear on my Desktop until I redraw it with CTRL+R. Nevertheless, if I create a folder in a terminal, everything works fine. ..." That is not specific to the desktop, right click and the option to create a new directory requires a refresh to display it
from the distribution comment too: "... thomas@silverstar:~$ gnomevfs-monitor . Starting monitor for file:///home/thomas/ # New folder with right click Created event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/Namenloser%20Ordner #Nothing could bee seen. At this point, I pressed CTRL+R, saw and removed the folder afterwards. Deleted event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/Namenloser%20Ordner #Here the Folder vanished like it should. Now I opended a new terminal Metadata changed event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/.gnome2_private #And created a folder with mkdir Created event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/Folder #In this case, everything worked fine. Deleted event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/Folder Created event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/Folder Deleted event: -> monitor_uri: file:///home/thomas/ -> info_uri: file:///home/thomas/Folder Stopping monitor ..."
It's not just folders. Try right-clicking on the desktop and creating an empty file. You have to refresh to see it. Same with copying a file between folders. Moving a file between folders or to the desktop works, it's only with a new file or folder that this problem occurs.
Yes, I also met this problem, when you create a new folder or a file form the file browser, you need to refresh the view then you can input the file name or directory name, I think this is a serious problem of a file manager, but I think they should be fixed ASAP, before 2.15.3, it works fine.

Re: 349833: I don't think there is a bug in the inotify/gnome-vfs monitoring code. if gnomevfs-monitor gets create event then nautilus will too. Why nautilus isn't responding to the create event I can't really say.
I also see this bug PLUS nautilus is omitting some files/directories on the initial opening of a folder. If I for example open my home dir for the first time at least 5 folders are missing. Ctrl+r helps but this is a damn serious issue. I am ging to rise the priority here! Maybe that is a second bug though bug I guess it is related. gnomevfs-ls works flawlessly.
I forgot to set the Target milestone. We really need this to be fixed for 2.16.

It's fixed in CVS. It was caused by the patch from bug 336051. Sorry for the inconvenience. 2006-08-04 Martin Wehner <martin.wehner@gmail.com> * libnautilus-private/nautilus-directory-async.c: (dequeue_pending_idle_callback): Revert patch from #336051 as it breaks the file update machinery. Fixes #348097.

I've updated to Gnome 2.26.1, and now I have this bug. Any new file on my desktop isn't shown until I refresh in Nautilus with Ctrl+R.
