FAM (and xffm)

[edscott wilson garcia]

Just got back to town today. Actually function to look for changed and
deleted files is no problem in xffm. The trouble is that GtkTreeView
uses an elaborate cache scheme which takes up a lot of CPU. This makes
the tree flash annoyingly at times when the monitor is up. Replacing the
monitor function will not fix the problem.
