Bug#416243: kpdf: "watch file" does not work
Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.5-3
Severity: normal
kpdf has the 'watch file' option turned on but updating my pdf (from
latex->ps->pdf) usually goes unnoticed (old content still displayed) and
sometimes results in broken display (white empty sheets only from some
page to the end). Underlying filesystem is ext3 (so should have good
enough filesystem timestamp resolution), kernel is latest git snapshot
(different versions tested, this has happened for some time now). gamin
is installed for file notification, not fam.
