Thread safety -- file and mount monitors are currently known to be crash-prone due to races. This has become particularly problematic since GDesktopAppInfo started using them from the GLib worker thread to watch for changes to desktop files. Due to the inotify-kernel changes on that branch, however, one measure of performance is definitely improved: file notifications will now arrive immediately, instead of after a hardwired delay.
