if i have "monitor enabled" selected in the options menu, and click on a file
to rename, if i don't type the new filename fast enough, the input box loses
focus and the rename gets canceled (due to the file check update, presumably).

Additional information:

Apparently the lost focus only occurs if an update condition is detected and
therefore the tree is updated.

Fixed as best as possible. The best solution would be to disable monitor when a
cell goes into edit mode, but the only signal provided by gtk is when the cell
exits edit mode. So the fix which seems to work OK and almost completely
eliminates the problem, has been to avoid updating the modification time of
everchanging directories like /proc, /dev, /var/log, /var/lock, /var/tmp,
/var/mail, /var/run, /tmp. These are the ones in FreeBSD. If other eternally
changing directories exists which should be included, reopen bug report and
list the directories so they can be included in the exclusion list.

fix committed to CVS HEAD.
