I have tuned my environment, and I had no issues for several days, which is not saying it could not happen. See and wait... There are the three modifications I applied:

How are things with this? Ever happened again?

It did to me - I cannot have a certain way to reproduce it. I thought it was triggered by actions like renaming, but I was able to observe it without. Stupid things it always takes days.

Things that I guess might trigger are:
- presence of the inspector, maybe only the content inspector and changing/observing many files
- switching between many directories, perhaps with inspector open
- changes of files "under the hood" by other process (uncertain, most often, nothing happens)

The latter should affect more fswatcher, but maybe messages get htrough? I don't know.

Since I modified my .xinitrc / .xsession with some delays for tasks like Updater, I never saw again crashes nor untimely restarting of GWorkspace while using.

I have only, sometimes, at the very begining of the Xsession an alert:
"The FSWatcher connection died. Do you want to restart it?" I agree and then the whole session with long uptime seems ok.

My .xinitrc used within PiSiN thn within AGNoStep for several months:

#!/bin/sh

# $HOME/.xinitrc
### Xinit starts Xserver...
PID_XSESSION=$$

### Window Manager
/usr/bin/wmaker --no-dock --no-clip --static &

sleep 1
/System/Tools/openapp SimpleAgenda &

### GWorkspace within a DBus session
sleep 2
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session /System/Tools/openapp GWorkspace

### This is a secure way in any case Dbus fails to kill the session:
kill $PID_XSESSION

And this is my autostart:

#!/bin/bash
#
# WindowMaker will wait until this script finishes, so if you run any
# commands that take long to execute (like a xterm), put a '&' in the
# end of the command line.
#
# This file must be executable.
#
xset m 20/10 4

### This is to prevent DMPS and blanking issues on RPI machine
xset -dpms
xset s off

### gdnc
gdomap -L GDNCServer || gdnc &

### compton: the -b arg means as a daemon like &
pgrep compton || compton -b

### Notifications
systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY
pgrep dunst || dunst &
sleep 2 && /usr/local/bin/loading.sh &

### conky
pgrep conky || sleep 8 && conky -c ~/.config/agnostep/conky.conf &

### Updater
sleep 10 && /usr/local/bin/Updater -d &

### Birthday Notifier
sleep 10 && /usr/local/bin/BirthNotify &
