Inotify bug? Uh, that would explain.

In the meanwhile, anyone affected by the problem can do the following temporary
workaround:
a) execute 'kdebugdialog', find and activate the debug area 7001 (KDirWatch)
b) in a terminal, run 'okular somedocument'; you should see in the output a
line similar to:
   okular(22280)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::KDirWatchPrivate: Available
methods:  ("Stat", "INotify")
c) close any open okular you have, and in a terminal do:
   kwriteconfig --file okularrc --group DirWatch --key PreferredMethod XXX
   where XXX should be replaced with
   - "Fam" if you have "FAM" among the available methods above
   - "Stat" otherwise

this will provide you a slightly less efficient way for file monitoring, but at
least should not use what looks like to be a buggy inotify on your system.

If you still have problems after setting this, please tell.
