Hi, all,
If I put the analog clock widget on my desktop, then I get a series of errors when KDE starts, viz:
Mar 8 08:22:20 rghquad pulseaudio[2855]: module-udev-detect.c: inotify_init1() failed: Too many open files Mar 8 08:22:20 rghquad pulseaudio[2855]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-udev-detect" (argument: ""): initialization failed. Mar 8 08:22:20 rghquad pulseaudio[2855]: main.c: Module load failed. Mar 8 08:22:20 rghquad pulseaudio[2855]: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. Mar 8 08:22:20 rghquad pulseaudio[2853]: main.c: Daemon startup failed.
repeating several times. I know this sounds crazy, but it is absolutely reproducible. Even if the clock is the only widget on the desktop, I get these errors, plus a dialog box asking me if certain sound devices should be removed since they weren't found. This is with KDE 4.7.4 on an up-do-date F16.
The issue has been around since about 23 February, when I reported the problem on the Fedora list
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2012-February/414329.html though I didn't know its cause then. So it must have been caused by some update around that time.

You could consider dropping a file named something like: /etc/systcl.d/nepomuk_inotify
containing fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
should help the inotify error at least.
