It looks kind of limited. You only look at the NautilusFile for the
current path, whereas the bug report is about a button to the right of
the current path (after going up) being deleted.

The way i see it you need to monitor all the files for the buttons to
the right of the active one, otherwise you wouldn't detect them being
deleted.

Also, if you just connect to the "changed" signal nautilus won't know
you're interested in changes to the file. You have to express interest
in certain attributes about the file using nautilus_file_monitor_add().
