Description eli 2001-09-10 01:19:52 UTC
If you try to rename a Desktop file to ".whatever", the rename successfully
completes (checked via command line), but the file name on the desktop does not
change until the second rename attempt.

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Right-click on your desktop, and select "New Folder". Press enter to accept
an initial name of "untitled folder".

2. Right-click on the newly created folder. Type in a new name of ".foo" (no
quotes), and press enter. Wait a few seconds. 

* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 The file name attached to your desktop icon will still be ".foo".

However, if you ls /home/{your user name}/.nautilus/desktop, it'll be renamed to
".foo", as it will also be if you right-click on the file and choose Show
Properties.

Not specific to the desktop.

Verified fixed in most recent RPM build.

- Performing steps to reproduce no longer triggers this bug.
- Dot-files dragged to the desktop immediately disappear
- Performing steps to reproduce in a folder with "Show hidden files" disabled
does not trigger this bug.
