About stop and refresh buttons:

Refresh is not an action average desktop users does for his/her folders.
Nautilus automatically detects changes in the folders. There is no need
for refresh button, except in the corner cases like having remote file
mount which do not behave correctly. If we really need refresh it should
go to menu only with shortcut key (F5).

Stop: The context of the stop button is when the file browser is loading
something for a long time (network). Otherwise stop button is useless.
Thus, it would make sense to **put the stop button to the context of the
loading**. I.e. Stop button is displayed in the file browsing area with
label "File browsing is still loading the folder view. Please press here
to cancel."  I am not sure if Nautilus has Firefox/Chrome style "top
notification actions" like for saving password, but that would be
perfect for the stop button.
