In our old code, before we added the reload, we got a lot of complaints 
from Nautilus users when they changed the location on an existing window 
to something that was invisibly cached by Nautilus, or opened a new window 
to something that was invisibly cached by Nautilus. In this case, the 
person would not see new files, nor would deleted files be missing.

This issue does not exist if you have FAM.
