Yea, sorry. I just read on the FAM page that it falls back to polling
for systems without kernel support so I guess this is fine.

I also had not wanted gnome-vfs to implement its own thing, I just was
willing to live with hitting the refresh button (it really doesn't
bother me at all).

But whatever.
