 I'm not sure, I don't understand enough of fuse to decide between both
 packages.

 This seems to indicate some permission / context / user problem indeed.

 I have no idea.

 I see what you mean.

 Does logging out + killing all processes + logging back in restores the
 system to a state where fam see your fuse mounts (without
 "allow_other")?

 Are you able to access fuse mounts created only before your GNOME
 session?
