IIUC `inotify` is a Linux only capability. An attempt was made to use the glib wrapper functions around the various platform specific notify libraries, however it generates extra spurious notifications on Linux that of course generated annoying extra user notifications, and it proved too hard to filter these out, so it was disabled. I think the code is still there if anyone wants to try to fix it.
