I can't confirm this on my system, oddly enough. In theory, KDE should use famd/gamin if installed, and if not dnotify, and if that isn't available polling. What does removing both the gamin and fam (not libfam) packages, then restarting, accomplish? I don't suppose trying the latest 2.6.12 kernel would make a difference? Also worth trying would be stopping the KDED Media Manager, in the Control Centre's Service Manager (though it is for removable media...). Cheers, Christopher Martin
