Description of problem: Konqueror can (and should?) use FAM to find out when a file has changed and immediately refresh the file list. When I log in to a KDE session and start Konqueror, "ps" does not show FAM as having been started, despite the portmap, xinetd, and fam services all being enabled. When a file is changed, Konqueror takes a few seconds to reflect this change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fam-2.6.8-9 portmap-4.0-52 xinetd-2.3.10-4 kdelibs-3.1-7 kdebase-3.1-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Phoebe 3 2. Start a KDE session 3. Open Konqueror Actual results: fam is not shown in the process list Expected results: fam is shown in the process list (it should be started on demand using xinetd) Additional info: This is a mostly default install of Red Hat Linux 8.0.94 (Phoebe 3). The FAM configuration has not been changed, and FAM works fine in conjunction with Nautilus.
Fam is disable in KDE by default. It has caused many problem in earlier KDE version. KDirWatch works fine in KDE.
