Ok, there seem to be a bug in thunar, which I'm looking at: when visiting a
folder, thunar ask for notifies for this folder. Then, when closing it, thunar
cancels the demand so notifies arent requested anymore.
This works for the main pane, but not for the side pane. When using the
"shortcut" pane, you can't go to /proc so the bug doesn't trigger. But when
using the tree view pane, you can, and thus you trigger the bug.
I guess we need a way to "close" a folder in side view too. I'm investigating
on this and have reported this upstream, but don't hold your breath, it's not
that trivial and upstream is quite busy/mia currently.

Indeed. It seems there's a bug in gamin for this, so I'm cloning this and
reassigning to gamin.
