    Well, in the desktop land both kde and gnome use fam, and fam can use
    dnotify as it's backend to watch files. Server side, courier can use fam
    as well, so although there are not a lot of programs that use dnotify
    directly, there are a lot that can use it indirectly, and will fall back
    to polling on a non-dnotify system. I don't know if the famd people like
    it or not though ;-)

    Cheers,
    Paul
