[Ruby] rails observers and class reloading

Hello!  Has anyone had a problem (in rails) with observers not getting
reloaded?  Basically when I am running in development mode my models
will get reloaded, but the observers don't!  Since the observers aren't
reloaded, they don't run.

I found this ticket on this issue:

  http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6942

But then in observer.rb, I found this:

  # Observer subclasses should be reloaded by the dispatcher in Rails
  # when Dependencies.mechanism = :load.

I tried setting that setting, but it didn't seem to work.  It could be
that I set it incorrectly though....  Has anyone else run in to this
problem, or have a work around?
