Please read up on the kernel scheme mail Jaime wrote earlier .. he
explained it fairly well and in debt.

Also .. this might not be in your or the Gnome user's interest but I'm just
going to apply the inotify patch to stable kernel releases. Moreover, I'm
not going to hold back kernel updates due to non-released inotify patches.
The linux-2.6 module is ment to serve a stable 2.6 kernel and no Gnome
gimmick kernel ;-).

PS: Personally, I think that tying a graphical environment so tightly to
the kernel and several other (yet) unsusual system services is 'a bad
idea'(tm). But that might be just me again ..
