Would be nice to have. Perhaps file a feature-request on
http://launchpad.net/pcb/+bugs

We would probably need the g_file_monitor_file API in GLib/GIO. This is
present (I think), since GLib 2.18. This corresponds to approximately
GTK 2.16 and onwards. (From a quick scan of the git repository, GTK 2.16
requires at least GLIB 2.19.7).
