Default inotify events and subdirectory are not consistent

i don't know, where i should post this. Maybe you give me a hint for the
next time ;-)

well, i'm not an expert about the subject, but there is a behaviour, that i
cannot understand. In case it is a (kernel?) bug, someone, who cares about
those things, should report it to the right people ;-)

What's it about?

Using opensuse 10.1 with snapshots of kde 3.5.4 i decided to play a little
with the new inotify interface and hacked some first program, that reprts
all the events. Works fine, reports all events so far except for one:

- deleting a file from a subdirectory (to trash) does not fire an event
- deleting this file in the trash also does not fire an event

seems i found a lack in the event system.

Can someone explain that?
