If you "Show Properties" for two differing directories, the first one begins to
cound items and size. The second does not begin untill the first is done.

(and meanwhile, the property window flicker as does the sidebar in some cases)

There should be no sidebar flicker. I'd like to see an example of that.

The only flicker that should occur when the number is counting up is the 
"contents" line (that shows the number counting up, and maybe "some 
contents unreadable"). Any other flickering is a surprising bug.

The "take turns" behavior seems to be based in the way the 
NautilusDirectory async machinery chooses what to do next. Therefore, I 
am blessing Darin with this bug.

I have two flickercases:
A:
1) The properties window is doing the counting
2) switch to tab "Emblems"
3) the scrollbar and icons flicker

B:
1) the property window is doing the counting on /usr
2) navigate into /usr
3) in the sidebar, the "usr" label and the emblem flickers.

build from HEAD doesn't seem to have Flicker Case B.

John, maybe we should have 2 separate bug reports, one for the flicker and one for the 
other problem.

I split off the flickering bug into bug 46248.
