though, since I use NFS and, last I looked, Gamin doesn't support

AFAIK it polls.
Does anyone know if it's really necessary to use Gamin instead of SGI
FAM with Gnome 2.16, and, if not, how to make emerge not do that?
gnome-base/gnome/gnome-2.16.1.ebuild doesnt dep on either of them, and
contains:
einfo "To take full advantage of GNOME's functionality, please emerge"
einfo "gamin, a File Alteration Monitor."
einfo "Make sure you have inotify enabled in your kernel ( >=2.6.13 )"
einfo
einfo "Make sure you rc-update del famd and emerge unmerge fam if you"
einfo "are switching from fam to gamin."
einfo
einfo "If you have problems, you may want to try using fam instead."
