Bug 420353 – dev-libs/libgamin runs into a mutex dead lock

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

pretty much experiencing the exact same issue described there, possible work arounds are either that patch or setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches to a ridiculously high number. It is easiest to see the lock issue with amarok however it also affects, plasmoid apps, as well as anything that interacts with kde/qt.

patch supplied by user on gnome bug report

This resolves the probably mutex deadlock, I have confirmed that this fixes the issue of kde application / qt hangs.
