+	Improve performance of the properties window when changing the 
+	properties of a lot of files at the same time. Now, the operations
+	complete much faster and the UI is not frozen anymore when the operations
+	take place.
+	
+	* src/file-manager/fm-properties-window.c: 
+	(remove_from_dialog): disconnect file_changed_cb callback,
+	(properties_window_update): take a list of changed files as input
+	and not a single changed file. This is the core of the optimization, 
+	(update_contents_callback): ensure the list of changed files does not 
+	contain duplicates, invoke properties_window_update on them,
+	(schedule_window_timeout_update): scheudle a timeout for later completion
+	of UI update,
+	(attach_directory_contents_value_field): connect schedule_window_timeout_update
+	on updated_deep_count_in_progress signal,
+	(permission_button_toggled): remove a useless empty line, 
+	(file_changed_cb): insert changed file in list of changed files and
+	schedule a timeout for later update,
+	(create_properties_window): connect file_changed_cb callback, 
+	(real_destroy): make sure to destroy changed file list
