Hi!

I have seen a gamin/gam_server process in my process list and I wonder 
what it is
used for on my system.
I looked for any documentation about it on my system, but there is only
a /usr/share/doc/gamin/README what describe the differences between
gamin and FAM.
For a user who has no idea about FAM it is not useful.

If one tries to remove the package, you will learn many KDE packages 
depend
on it. Because it is such a (Desktop-User-)important package you should 
improve
the long description and explain, what gamin exactly does for the system 
or the user.
Why should one need a "File and directory monitoring system"?
Because  purging the package is not possible for KDE users, could they 
disable this server without problems?


Kindly regards,
Erik
