-If FAM or DNOTIFY is not available, the filesystem will be polled at regular interval for any changes. Under the [DirWatch] group in the kdeglobals file
-the following options are available to adjust the polling frequency:
-
-**PollInterval**: This can be used to adjust the time interval at which the local
-filesystem is checked for new software or update files. The time is specified
-in milliseconds and has a default of 500 (0.5 seconds).
-
-**NFSPollInterval**: This can be used to adjust the time interval at which remote
-filesystems, such as NFS or Samba, are ebing checked for new software or
-update files. The time is specified in milliseconds and has a default of 5000
-(5 seconds).
-
-The above options are not used when FAM is used to watch for changes in the
-filesystem, or when DNOTIFY is used. Specifying larger intervals may reduce
-the CPU load and/or network traffic. Shorter intervals are not recommended.

-Please note that in previous versions of KDE these options where listed in
