However, I&#8217;m now wondering if some of the problems are GNOME&#8217;s fault rather than gamin. This also ties into what some people have said, where the desktop updating breaks easily but nautilus file-browsing works all the time. It appears that the desktop is periodically polling gamin for updates, whereas file-browsing just waits for an event to be signalled. I&#8217;m going to investigate this, so if anyone has any idea where the Desktop polling code actually lives, please let me know. I figure that its in nautilus <em>somewhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gamin 0.1.0 was released on Thursday.
