If some files are deleted from a folder using a terminal, then all the files in
that folder are deleted using Nautilus, the icons for the terminal-deleted files
remain in the folder. I can still get properties on these 'ghost' files, but
they don't go away until i move to another folder or refresh the view.

This is the "file monitoring" feature. We originally intended this to work in
Nautilus 1.0, but didn't get around to it. It can be implemented either by
polling or by some sort of notification mechanism.

IMHO, if you're not going to do this for 1.0, retaining the current behavior
would be somewhat dangerous :-/

For deletion, leaving icons around is a minor issue, but if you're copying files
and Nautilus silently ignores some deleted files, that could be a problem if a
user isn't expecting it. I'd suggest deletion should silently drop icons for
missing files, and copying/moving should bring up a dialog ('The following files
were missing and couldn't be copied...')
