Limitation.  You're expected to only be able to watch for a) modification of
a single path in an existing directory, or b) creation/deletion of files in
an existing directory.  Monitoring for recursive directory creation is
unwieldly via inotify, and out of scope for what we understand the desktop
requirements to be.
