After building project there isn't dist folder in Files view until there is explicitly called refresh folder. The same is true for clean - dist folder doesn't disappear.
I was just noticing this myself (Linux, current trunk build). The automatic refresh seems fine unless you have a CVS mount, in which case it doesn't work.
I can't reproduce this in 040603.
