famd, gnome and xfce4

[Markus Bergkvist]

Hi

I can't get the file browser in gnome to update automatically when a  file 
is e.g. created or removed if I start famd with

sgi_fam/1-2     stream  rpc/tcp wait    root    /usr/local/sbin/famd famd

in  /etc/inetd.conf
But if I start famd with

if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/famd ]; then
        /usr/local/sbin/famd -T 0
fi

in /etc/rc.local it works all fine. The xfce4 file manager doesn't react no 
matter how I start famd. Is this working as expected, or what might I have 
done wrong?
