Review request for Nepomuk, Vishesh Handa and Sebastian Trueg.
Description
-------
Currently, if we happen to run out of inotify watches in the filewatch service, all we get is a debug message, which is easily lost.
This patch additionally creates a popup notification to warn people they need to raise the limit.
I worried that a popup might be a bit too invasive - I considered also just logging to syslog, but that seemed not invasive enough.
I figured that since metadata can get lost if the watches are not all installed, being fairly invasive is a good idea.
What think you?

Testing
-------
> sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=10
> killall nepomukserver && nepomukserver
Yup, there's a notification.
Thanks,
