Bug Description

I found that my syntax highlighting theme in `~/.config/MonoDevelop/syntaxmodes/' is ignored. I try to see the message by running `monodevelop' from terminal, then I got these message:

WARNING [2012-03-06 14:24:41Z]: Inotify watch limit is too low (8192).
MonoDevelop will switch to managed file watching.
See http://monodevelop.com/Inotify_Watches_Limit for more info.
