Thanks for this. I've committed your patch to the repo. Honestly, I
don't remember why I have suppressed auto-revert-use-notify when
initiating the auto-revert modes, maybe I was simply overcautious. If
there are problems with this change, we will hear soon :-)

Per default, I have enabled gfilenotify as notification library; it
works also w/o problems. Of course, I cannot speak for w32notify, maybe
somebody can run a short test.

Best regards, Michael.
