When you look at a directory with konqueror, the fam
server is asked to monitor that directory and all the
directories within and to report to konqueror when
something changed in those directories.

Normally, when you change directory in your konqueror window or when you close that konqueror window, the list of items fam has to monitor is changed.

However, that does not always happen. Sometimes (quite often, actually, but not always), you can quit a konqueror window and still have fam monitoring the directories you were looking at. I can tell by running lsof and look at
the directories that fam has opened.

It would not usually be a big problem, except when the directories being monitored are /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/zip, /mnt/flash, etc. When that happens, you cannot unmount your removable media because that stupid fam is still holding an openend file descriptor on the mounted directory, and there is nothing that you can do short of killing fam.

In short, two things:
	konqueror should be extra carefull to tell fam to stop monitoring the directories it doesn't need to have monitored anymore
	when the kde unmount procedure fails, it should
check if it didnt happen to fail because of fam, and take
action (I don't know how) or at least explain the user.
