It took a while longer, but there it is, asking for root password.  After
removing 97-kde-nepomuk-filewatch-inotify.conf and
adjusting 97-kde-baloo-filewatch-inotify.conf contents to the suggested by
Joost, there it is again, asking for root password.

Now, before hitting the OK button:

So, they are part of the same tree, but there is no parent-child
relationship among them - as far as I understand this listing.

Thanks!
