Nautilus is normally using file monitoring on the directories its
monitoring, which should detect this i believe. Since it doesn't there
must be something strange going on, either with your setup or exactly
how nautilus monitors the desktop dir (maybe it being a symlink is the
problem?). Try to experiment with chaninging files in the desktop dir
and see if you can get it to work...
