Bug Description

Binary package hint: gimp

I had about three images open, one was not saved (not important). The one I was working on had been a jpeg, but now "saved as" png.
Then, from another virtual desktop/workspace (same machine), via Nautilus, I renamed the file I was working on (its nes png-name).
Switching back to the desktop where GIMP was, it crashed.

I was actually deleting some files and renaming some, but I think no open file was deleted, only renamed.
I have read other bug reports about conflicts with Nautilus (thumbnailing?) but those were during a Save-maneuver. I was not saving, just had them open.

I realize that GIMP may want to discover if an open file is deleted (might have to detect renames too) and ask for action if I chose to quit GIMP without saving again, but it shouldn't crash on me.

(Thanks for fast action on my previous bug)
