Bug#413993: nautilus: Does not notice files saved to Desktop

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.14.3-9
Severity: important
I noticed yesterday that Nautilus does not notice files saved to the
Desktop. Icons do not appear on the Desktop for them, and even
opening a separate window to the Desktop does not show files. Ctrl-R,
however, displays them.
/home is mounted over nfs4 on these machines.
After some experimentation, I learned that:
* if I touch a file in ~/Desktop, no icon appears
* if I rm a file in ~/Desktop that had already appeared on the desktop,
its icon disappears immediately
further debugging shows that nfs4 is sending modify events for touch,
but not create events like other filesystems do. (The file is being
created local to nautilus). I think that nautilus needs to respond to
modify events and treat them as create if it isn't already aware of the
file.
