First, Emacs froze when I tried to list my home directory, then "ls -a"
froze from command line. Through trial and error, it appears that there
is a file, directory, or special file in my home directory that begins
with ".gvfs". Any attempts to list the contents of the directory that
should include .gvfs* fails and locks up the program that issued the
command; emacs, ls -a in bash shell, etc. The close icon in the upper
right hand corner of the frame will cause a pop-dialog to appear that
allows the program to be "force quit".
Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Can I safely do a "rm -rf
.gvfs*" or will that delete files that my system needs?
The command "ls -ad .gvfs*" also locks up which leads me to suspect that
.gvfs is a special file, such as a device, instead of a directory.
