Title:
  Created .hidden folder/file stays visible after being created/deleted

Status in Nautilus:
  Invalid
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  1st bug: created .hidden folders in the Desktop folder appears on The Desktop (Hide all windows and show the desktop) and stays visible even if deleted
  2nd bug: deleting a just created .hidden folder while "show hidden files" is unchecked stays visible in the file manager until a refresh.

  - Desktop folder : ~/Desktop
  - The Desktop : Hide all windows and show the desktop

  How to reproduce: (using nautilus)
  - With or without view > show hidden files checked (does not matter)
  1. Create a folder .testfolder in the Desktop folder
  visible on The Desktop (1st bug)
  2. delete this folder
  - Although the folder does not appear in the file browser, it stays visible on The Desktop (1st bug)

  - With view > show hidden files unchecked
  Create a folder named .testfolder in any location and then delete it
  - The folder stays visible in nautilus until a refresh  (2nd bug)

  Notes:
  1. The above steps produce the same bug for created documents (right click > create document ..)
  2. Using the rm/mv commands to delete or move the folder created from nautilus also requires a refresh to hide them in nautilus (the folder is replaced with a file of unknown type and undetermined permissions)

  Version information:
  Ubuntu Feisty
