AFAIK, nothing in the kernel is *required* for file monitoring.  There is a 
kernel patch—inotify, I think—which makes the process more elegant, but it 
should still work without that.

What you *do* need, though, is a daemon process which monitors the files and 
reports changes.  On Kubuntu (and possibly Ubuntu as a whole) that appears to 
be provided by gamin, rather than fam.
