there are, my python script uses wnck bindings to
monitor change of workspace. this part of the script
works. Whenever i change workspace the Desktop
directory changes.

But i dont know how to make Nautilus aware that the
Desktop directory has been changed from within python
script. So each time i have to hit Ctrl+R to refresh
Desktop view and see new Desktop. 

So i was wondering how to force Nautilus to reload the
Desktop directory, maybe via dbus.
