--- Comment #4 from [email protected] ---
Below is the output of kde-inotify-survey. However, this is after a restart,
and I'm not observing the issue right now. So I don't know if this helps.

What I don't understand is why directory watching would be needed for a manual
refresh. Isn't "watching" the process of automatically being notified when
something happens to the directory (e.g. a file gets created or deleted)? In my
case, even a manual refresh failed, meaning I would do right-click -> "Refresh
Resktop" and the desktop would fail to be updated. I would not expect that to
depend on the ability to watch (otherwise, why does "refresh desktop" even
exist, if it works under the assumption that the directory is being watched,
then it wouldn't be needed in the first place). But I may be missing something.
