[edit] fam or famd?

I followed these instruction for setting up Gnome in Arch and for the most part it worked fine, but when I installed an application with pacman, it didn't appear in the gnome menus.

I asked a friend who knows more about linux than me and he said that famd needs to be running, I said that fam should be running (because I followed this guide) and he suggested changing it to famd and that worked.

So is "fam" a typo? Or are they two different things?

I recommand using gamin and not fam, just install gamin package from testing and reboot, you don't need to add anything to your rc.conf

P.S: make sure portmap is installed and running in both cases though

Is it necessary to add DBUS to rc.conf?
