    Was this not necessary anywhere?  I'd still set the close-on-exec flag even if it's a bad idea to using forking in a multi-threaded program (although I'd set this flag from the thread using inotify instead of here).

    Why do we have #ifdef HAVE_SYS_INOTIFY_H twice here, why not merge them?

    I think you accidentally left useless spaces here.

    This portion seems inconsistent with the rest of the file's coding style (esp. spacing).
    
    On the other hand it looks more in line with the kdelibs coding style. (http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Kdelibs_Coding_Style)
    
    Assuming the change gets tested/committed can you also update the coding style of the affected files to be in line with the kdelibs coding style?
