Hmm no?

What you currently have is:

* a project that claims to be GPLv2+ (see notice at the top of e.g.
nautilus-main.c)
* with a notice that claims one should get a copy of the **GPLv2**
with the project
* and a copy of the **GPLv3**

What you want is to change the existing notice so that it claims the
proper license, and keep the new LICENSE file.

Yes.
