re:  GNOME

It is still amateur hour at the GNOME ranch, see:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/comments/tpenta/Weblog/dtracing_on_the_train_gnome

a long posting, but this jumps out towards the bottom:

""" So basically, it looks like gnome-vfs-daemon is reading the mount
table of the system every three seconds.

...

So we actually only need to stat the file to see if the mount table
has changed. This is a much more efficient way of doing things.

After logging a bug on this, the engineer who took it determined that
the code to do the stat() was actually in there, but due to some
faulty logic, it would never get executed.  """

QED .
