Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 Due to a plethora of problems with gamin lately (unresponsive/hung gam-server processes), I removed it. Trying fam - which doesn't work even out of the box with systemd (filed a bug), made me think: - fam isn't maintained. - gamin hasn't been especially stable - inotify, however, has been around a while and seems to work. Can fam/gamin support be removed from KDE and replaced/supplemented with inotify? Our startkde.suse.sh script still sets USE_FAM, for what that's worth.
