ok that's why then. So the only thing I need, if anything, is further
confirmation that increasing it on F17 would not cause problems. I'll
wait until tomorrow for further comments and then "risk" the increase
:-)

Your own civil rights and the quality of your life heavily depend on how
software is used *around* you

The value of fs.inotify.max_user_watches was increased in F18, and later releases, due to this bug[1] in nepomuk. It's configured by /usr/lib/sysctl.d/97-kde-nepomuk-filewatch-inotify.conf which is installed by nepomuk-core, so ideally you'd get that value if you have KDE or installed a package that pulled nepomuk-core as a dependency.
