The experiments I've made seem to show that when kdesvn is started without a command line argument it doesn't catch new files; when started with one it does. Why this should be so is completely mysterious, since the terminal logs show watching in both cases.
I assume that starting from the menu is starting without a command line argument, so this problem might have broad impact.

Here's what I see when I open it with kdesvn mspath (I'm not sure if you meant I should give it a command line argument or not): kdesvn: Name: cFactory kdesvn: Appname = kdesvn kdesvn: Url: file:///home/ross/peter/R/mspath - path: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath kdesvn: Create dirwatch kdesvn: checkDirs() kdesvn: makeStatus on /home/ross/peter/R/mspath created: 22items kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/R kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/data kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/inst kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/man kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/src kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/src1 kdesvn: Watching folder: /home/ross/peter/R/mspath/tests kdesvn: Create cache for /home/ross/peter/R/mspath kdesvn: ModifiedThread seems stopped kdesvn: Updates Thread seems stopped When I add a file I see kdesvn: deleteFromModifiedCache [sic] and it shows up in kdesvn. When I delete the file I see kdesvn: deleteFromModifiedCache [again] and the file name, but not the icon or the "unversioned" notation, disappears from the display (which seems like a cosmetic bug). On the other hand, when I start with kdesvn and open the directory within the program, I again see the Watching messages, but when I touch a file it does not show up in kdesvn's display, and there are no messages on the terminal.
