+After some more testing it seems that it works on small dirs, but on
+dirs with a large number of subdirs it doesn't work. I've got a dir
+here with 104 subdirs and it only picks up changes in the main dir.
+
+A few years ago there was a bug in gnome-vfs: there was only a certain
+number of dirs that could be monitored by the fam backend. I don't
+know the details, but perhaps something similar is going on here?
