Overall, from a programming point of view, the patch is perfect. But I am not 
sure if we should be adding this. It seems like the distributions job to add a 
decent inotify limit.

Do you think you could add the kde-usability team to the review? I'd like a 
second opinion.


services/filewatch/nepomukfilewatch.cpp

    Maybe one would want to recommend an even higher limit?
    
    Also, "file changes will be ignored" seems a little scary. Maybe we could 
add the word indexing over there.
