--- Comment #27 from Andreas Hartmetz <ahartmetz@gmail.com> ---
The config entry that sets the default backend for non-NFS directories is, in
$KDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals:

[DirWatch]
PreferredMethod=inotify (or Fam or Stat)

and for NFS directories:
nfsPreferredMethod=inotify (or Fam or Stat)

Note that $KDEHOME is usually $HOME/.kde. Also note that the default for
non-NFS mounts is already inotify, so either your distro sets something,
possibly in /etc/ from where it cascades into your user config (you can
override it), or you are using NFS mounts. inotify doesn't work for NFS, so you
could try setting
nfsPreferredMethod=Stat
which uses "manual" polling. You can set the polling interval in milliseconds
using
NFSPollInterval=12345 (the default is 5000).

Is anyone having problems on Linux kernels with working inotify support
(>2.6.14)? That is where inotify should be used by default.
