I was trying to use inotify to watch process changes (especially process termination) by watching /proc/. Sadly, although I could see something reading various files, nothing was issued when the process I was watching exited and the directory went away. Is this intentional, or a bug? -Jose

Hello all. I just built -rc4, and it looks like Dmitry's ALPS touchpad fix (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.1/0199.html) didn't make it in. Is it percolating up the chain and just didn't make the deadline, or did it accidentally get dropped? Thanks! -Joseph -- [EMAIL PR
