I cannot pinpoint the exact cause, but I can, for example, "touch newfile" in a directory or on my Desktop, and Nautilus will not show it until I open a Nautilus window to that directory/desktop and click View -> Reload.
Filesystem polling works fine after a reboot. Right now I have been up for 4 days and just noticed, but it's stopped working as quickly as an hour after boot. This is not a new problem with 2.26 and is something I've experienced since at least 2.20. My system is FreeBSD 7.1-p4 i386 using a ZFS disk, but I've seen the same problem on the same computer under an old installation using UFS.
Some Googling reveals that Nautilus uses devel/gamin to poll changes which in turn uses kqueue by default. The port has a compile-time option for GAM_POLLER that I do not have enabled. Konqueror, however has never exhibited this problem.
The closest bug report I was able to find was this one from 2004 which I don't believe is applicable. It discusses gamin 0.0.x, and I use 0.1.10_1.
