Bug#630445: gnome-settings-daemon: produces a lot of GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING, sends tons of messages to dbus which eat CPU

[Alexandr Bravo]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.30.2-3
Severity: serious

After login to Gnome I see the CPU load over 40% (4-core i3 intel) produced
by
dbus. Trying to find a reason for that I found .xsession-errors growing very
fast to megabytes with the repeated messages inside:

.xsession-errors

(gnome-settings-daemon:2873): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking
List() failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu:

The only way to stop it I found is to kill gnome-settings-daemon, which
makes it unusable.

Possible side-effect is the problem with gnome-panel which is invisible
after Gnome start and could be unhide by killing gnome-panel process. Before
killing it produces similar to gnome-settings-daemon warnings in
.xsession-errors:

(gnome-panel:2885): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking List()
failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

(gnome-panel:2885): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: New owner :1.23 for
volume monitor org.gtk.Private.GduVolumeMonitor connected to the bus;
