gvfs causes hangs

[Steve Grubb]

Hello,

I have been running into something on F-12 that is really annoying and was 
wondering if anyone else is seeing this. When I use kmail and want to attach a 
file that is not in my Documents folder and go up one level to my homedir, it 
hangs. I can't do anything with kmail except kill the email I was composing.

Digging into this further, if you run lsof, it hangs when it gets to ~/.gvfs:

alarm(15)                               = 0
write(5, "\240(A\0\0\0\0\0", 8)         = 8
write(5, "\23\0\0\0", 4)                = 4
write(5, "/home/sgrubb/.gvfs\0", 19)    = 19
write(5, "\0\20\0\0", 4)                = 4
read(6, 0x7fff9cc98428, 4)              = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
alarm(0)                                = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {SIG_DFL, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 
0x7ff0359ac740}, {0x412140, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x7ff0359ac740}, 8) 
= 0
close(5)                                = 0
close(6)                                = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {0x412140, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 
0x7ff0359ac740}, {SIG_DFL, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x7ff0359ac740}, 8) = 
0
alarm(5)                                = 0
wait4(-1, 

And also find ~ -name anything also hangs:

open("..", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW) = 5
fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
fchdir(5)                               = 0
close(5)                                = 0
newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, ".gvfs",

Is this a defective file system or are a whole bunch of apps needing to be 
fixed? Also, do other people notice the same thing?
