Hi,

I am not sure that adding a READLINK would solve your recursive-entry 
problem. READLINK would probably come in addition to OPEN and not as a 
replacement.

When "trusted applications" are supported (see 
http://www.dazuko.org/files/dazuko_mold2005_presentation.pdf) you shouldn't 
have this problem anymore. If we introduce new event types, it needs to be 
because applications are really interested in these events and not as a 
work-around for some desired functionality.
