Further development of the theory [*]


I've determined that Inotify works -- there's a utility to test it

I've not been able to test Gamin. There's a description of how to do that on
the Gamin website, but it's not up to date and doesn't work with the
current version. As far as I can tell.

When I start Konqueror from a konsole, this appears:


konqtree: 0x8fbd2d0 KonqSidebarDirTreeModule::addSubDir file:///home/niels
konqtree: 0x8fbd2d0 openSubFolder( file:///home/niels )
kio (KDirLister): +KDirLister
kio (KDirListerCache): +KDirListerCache
FAMOpen()

KURL&, bool, bool)] 0x8fbd6e0 url=file:///home/niels keep=true reload=false

kio (KDirWatch):  Setup FAM (Req 1) for /home/niels
FAMPending(fd = 15)

To my untrained eyes it looks like Konqueror discovers FAM (which is
actually Gamin on this system), and tries to use it. But there's some kind
of error from Gamin: Error getting GAM_CLIENT_ID. However, after that it
looks like some things are happening after all -- maybe it's an inter-prog
communication problem?

Konqueror has _no_ FAM capabilities after this. It doesn't discover new
files automatically.

So my question remains: Should this work in KDE? Is this solely a Gamin
problem?
