Bug#597133: gvfs: dbus times out too quickly

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.6.3-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I don't know if I analyzed this issue correctly, so please feel free to re-
assign if appropriate.

I have just enabled sharing the ~/Public folder via gnome-user-share on one of
my computers and wanted to acces the folder via nautilus from another computer.
The Folder showed up as expected in the network view in nautilus, when when I
attempted to open it, an error message appeared within a split second and told
me that dbus has received a timeout (or similar, I failed to copy it and have
just switched off the other computer; I'll try to reproduce if necessary).
C'mon, this folder is on another computer which happens to be connected to the
same network and I think dbus (or gvfs) should be a little bit more patient
when it comes to acces this ressource. I don't know which of both is
responsible for setting timeout thresholds, but I suspect gvfs and thus file
this bug report against it. I beliebe at least half a second should be waited
until the operation is canceled via a cryptic error message.

 - Fabian
