Unfortunately that is not the whole story. I had these problems when I upgraded my gpg on Suse 8.2. I did not have fam installed and I used to get updates correctly. After upgrading gpg when I removed my .gnupg directory updates would all start working directly. When I recreated the .gnupg the updates stopped. I then installed fam and got updates again but this caused other problems (first logon of a user would hang plus others) and I eventually removed it deciding to live without the updates and use f5 instead. This works except for the desktop where you need to create an object (new folder) and then delete it. My mounts would also not get updated so I couldn't unmount them. A simple dcop command "dcop kded mountwatcher reloadExclusionLists" would get the icons correct. As I said remove the gnupg folder and all was fine. Never got to the bottom of it and have now upgraded to 9.2 and the issue has disappeared. I had my suspicions on dirmgr part of gnupg. By the way I upgraded my gnupg because kmail needed a newer version for signatures. Andrew On Thursday 03 Feb 2005 12:44, Oli1417@gmx.net wrote:
Hello,
This is just to post the solution to the problem described above. I found it hard to find infos about this, so I decided to make a small posting here to have it documented for people that are still looking for the solution perhaps:
Problem: KDE desktop icons do not update,refresh,show up for new files
Solution: It's related to the fam daemon, which KDE and Gnome use to get notified on new files. It's not installed my default (very silly by Suse - don't uderstand that?!). So 1.) just install all of them incl. the fam-server and then 2.) also activate it in the runlevel editor, then 3.) reboot.
Voila. That's it.
Cheers, Ol
