I take that back. Even a file manager may very well be interested in moves that it does itself - most of them have some soft of multi-window view capability, and if they use dnotify, they might well be using it to keep the different views coherent.
So yes, a new flag would likely be required.
That said, who actually _uses_ dnotify? The only time dnotify seems to come up in discussions is when people complain how badly designed it is, and I don't think I've ever heard anybody say that they use it and that they liked it ;)
