Problem with gam_server

[mathieu.millet at ratp.fr]

I have sometimes (well many times since I have upgraded something but I
don't remember what) the same problem with USB HD and USB Key.

For the story, gamin (gam_server) is like fam (File Alteration Monitor) but
designed for just one user.

In order to be able to unmount cleanly, I have to 'kill -HUP nautilus' and
then 'kill gam_server', because kiling just gam_server isn't enough since it
is respawned immediately with the "same locks" on the file it monitors.

You may find additional help with this bug case :

I hope it helps you.
Sincerely yours, Mathieu.
