Support inotify (open image might be more verbose)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start gphotoframe
2. delete the image it is displaying from within the file manager
3. click 'open' to open the image file from gphotoframe

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
nothing happens, I think an error message would be appropriate, telling me
the file doesn't exist.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
svn version of gphotoframe and ubuntu 8.04

Please provide any additional information below.

I would like to keep the behavior of gphotoframe simple.

gphotoframe should not display the delete image, 
which is checking with inotify in real time.

I think I meant something else.
If it is ok I will try to prepare a patch to show you what I mean.
Then, off course, you can decide whether you want it or not.

This is what I was trying to make clear. The patch is not perfect as my python 
coding
skills are not so good. I don't know how to close the message dialog by 
clicking on
the 'OK' button.
It is for you to decide if you want this in your program. So use this patch if 
you
like to.

I think that it is necessary to prevent users from being able to do the 
operation
causing errors.
The display of the error dialog is the final means.

If the local image file does not exist, the sensitivity of the 'open' menu item 
is
set 'inactive'.  Implemented in r142.

But, It is insufficient without inotify support.
