[Bug 1883174] [NEW] [SRU]Some (or all) desktop icons are missing

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]

 * When user edit and save a file in Desktop, the file icon will disappear, and the file is still there, it's bad experience for user.
 * Sometimes, some icons in my Desktop folder just don't appear on the desktop. The missing icons aren't invisible, it's like they're not in the folder. Clicking on the empty space where they should be does nothing. Mousing over the empty space does nothing. See attached screenshot. As you can see, there are many missing.

Not consistently reproducible, but frequent.

[Test Plan]

 * Edit and save a file in Desktop.
   $ echo "abc" > ~/a.log
   $ gedit ~/a.log

[Where problems could occur]

 * It is low risk, cause I just check the fileItem in source code before
call it, or else it prompt 'fileItem is undefined'.
