Some distributions (Fedora and Ubuntu, that I know of) are incorporating 
Gamin, related to FAM, which monitors files and directories:
http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/index.html

Also, Novell's Robert Love has been working on inotify, a replacement 
for dnotify:

The differences between all of these are lost on me, I'm just providing 
relevant linkage.
