What do you mean by "dapper doesn't use gamin"? edubuntu-desktop depends on it, as do many KDE apps in Kubuntu (like k3b, which is probably used by a few non-Kubuntu users as well). After all it is in main and many main-packages depend on it.
Is it possible that all these packages can use another file alteration monitor then gamin? -- gam_server consumes lots of cpu time https://launchpad.net/bugs/36581 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
