Fwd: UI freeze exception

Hello,

This summer we have worked on implementing favorite files in Nautilus,
using the nao:predefined-tag-favorite tag to store this information in the
Tracker database.

The UI added consists of a new item in the sidebar, called 'Starred' which
shows the favorite files. This sidebar item will also be visible in the
filechooser. Apart from this, a new column has been added in the list view,
which shows a star for which row that can be toggled to make/unmake files
favorite. Also, for the canvas view, or to star/unstar multiple files at
once, an action was added in the context menu.

This are the bugs with the code related to this changes:

Here are screenshots of how the new UI looks like:

We tested this new changes and though there are minor changes to be made,
this feature works well and it is also expected by users, so this is why I
believe it should be included in this release.

Thanks,
