Oops, didn't check that.. I also fixed test in gnome-vfs but not in
eel..

My fix was to ensure that we never get "start-here:" (or other
"method:") URI after canonization because file/directory monitoring
become completey screwed in nautilus : 
-if you are viewing start-here: in nautilus and if a new file appears in
the start-here: directory, monitoring was sending a "file added" signal
with "start-here:///new_file.desktop" and nautilus, checking if this
file was part of the viewed directory compared start-here: to
start-here:///, which are not the same => changed not reflected in the
UI..

The problem was also present in applications: :((
