  No. notify means use the kernel notifying method, not what you want.
Forbiding all check is only allowed at a filesystem level (with fsset ... none)
for an individual file you just have the possibility at the gamin level
to state whether you want kernel monitoring (notify) or gamin polling
(poll). Even 
   poll ~/.xsession-errors
won't really do what you want. As I stated, the best way is to tell KDE
to not check for that file.
  In the meantime symlink it to /dev/null that's the simplest.
