Seems to deadlock while calling famd, maybe famd is blocked because we don't 
read notifications? Seems rather fragile design on the part of famd then.

There is already a call to famEventReceived() in KDirWatchPrivate::useFAM for 
that purpose, maybe such call should be added at the start of useFAM as well.

Cheers,
Waldo
