Bug Description

At the moment, the code in ubuntuone-nautilus.c sets "synchronized" emblem hoping to update the emblem when it gets real info from syncdaemon.
Such info might not be received from syncdaemon, i.e. when the file has just appeared in the directory and syncdaemon has not yet finished content hashing (KeyError exception is received instead) or when syncdaemon is not running and dbus calls get timeout during metadata loading.

This was discussed on the mailing list:

The fix is trivial in this case.
