Translate inotify fix from Gentoo to Debian?
inotify doesn't seem to work with GNOME; with kernel 2.6.11,
GNOME locks up my entire machine after only a few seconds if
I move the mouse. If I don't move the mouse, a lockup takes
longer, if it happens at all. If I use the kernel option
'noinotify', the lockup doesn't happen at all.
All of this is well-known, but apparently there's a fix
coming down the pipe:

I'm not exactly clear which of the pieces in there carry
over to Debian. Does anyone know?
