i tried this on an opensuse linux 10.0 system.

A further test on a opensuse linux 11.1 did not show the error probably 
because dnotify isn't used on 11.1

a further look shows that in 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/commit/?id=8a9880ffd2b81df38bb0e3492bda7a9636ac0280 
the dbus-watch api has been refactored in a way that bus_watch_directory 
() has been replaced by bus_set_watched_dirs(), but the dnotify 
implementation hasn't been refactered too.
