Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I experience 30 second startup delays for file browsing in Thunar. This occurs the first time a file-browsing dialog box is opened in most applications. Thereafter it does not re-occur, unless the application is terminated and restarted.

The problem is traced via ~/.xsession-errors to a timeout of org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor.

$ systemctl --user status gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.service

shows in part

Nov 05 13:25:47 escolar1 systemd[1200]: Starting Virtual filesystem service - disk device monitor...
Nov 05 13:25:47 escolar1 gvfs-udisks2-vo[4978]: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system
Nov 05 13:25:47 escolar1 systemd[1200]: gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.service: Main process exited, code=killed


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Renaming the compiled schemas and reinstalling gsettings-desktop-schemas recreates the compiled schemas exactly, but does not resolve the bug.

Uninstalling all gvfs-related packages does remove the thunar startup delay, but removes desired functionality as well. Reinstalling the packages restores functionality but the startup-delays recur.
