Yup.

Then dot files that are modified are updated - no surprise there.

Hmm. That doesn't sound really necessary, especially for all the dot files
in $HOME.....

Yes and no. KDirWatch should make sure it only says "this file has grown"
(and maybe it can make a few exceptions indeed),
but KDirLister and konqueror should also make sure they take minimal
action when a single file has changed size - no need for full update, just
updating the info on that particular file is enough.
