Title:
  Desktop context menu needs "Refresh" item

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  On Windows, the desktop context menu ("right-click on the desktop")
  has a Refresh item. Users in China in particular find this item
  reassuring and miss it on Ubuntu.

  We should add a "Refresh" item to the desktop menu, which:

   * updates the thumbnails of items on the desktop
   * compacts memory, along the lines of "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory" as root
   * plays a specific sound, I suggest a clearing bell sound like that at http://www.soundsnap.com/node/20322
