Julie, could you run "yum search gamin" and then "yum info <whatever the name
of the gamin package is>"? One or the other of those should tell you what
version you're using. Also, could you go into your home directory and
run "ls -l .xsession-errors" and send in the output?
Looks like version 0.1.7 (output of the two commands attached). Libraries
found (see below) look consistent with this.
As for .xsession-errors, ls -l gives me:
-rw------- 1 julie julie 72802794 Nov 6 21:02 .xsession-errors
There are a number of different things going into that, but it looks like
your theory about the gam_server tying itself in a knot applies to me too:
wc .xsession-errors
3163916 10761277 72802794 .xsession-errors
grep 'invalid length 24902' .xsession-errors | wc
2527808 7583424 53083968
grep 'end from FAM server connection' .xsession-errors |wc
631897 3159485 19588807
Ok, I see where putting it into the code would be a bad idea. I do like your
idea of a config file change, though. Maybe comment it out by default, with
a description along the lines of "KDE users -- add this if you see gam_server
using excessive resources."
I like that idea - its simple to understand!
Julie, are you still seeing this issue? If you applied a workaround, would
you be willing to revert it to test out a new config file?
I 'solved' my problem by the simple expedient of renaming the gam-server
file so that whatever was starting it couldn't. Yes, I can put it back if
you have a proper solution you'd like another tester for.

I don't seem to have the config file that people talk about, but there is
gamin.pc in pkgconfig (I'm guessing that means package configuration?). I
don't know whether this means I can add a /etc/gamin/gaminrc if I like, or
my system isn't set up to use one. I have attached the gamin.pc file in
case its any use...
I'm afraid I can only contribute unskilled labour to this - I'm rather out
of my depth talking about low-level operating system stuff. Feel free to
assume I know nothing when telling me how to use your new config file...
