This issue is no longer observable in a standard console X11 login on Xenial.
There is still an issue with GVFS daemons hanging around after an XFCE session that was launched from a terminal (as in a remote X11 session), but that is actually due to dbus-launch not being killed at the end of the session. If dbus-launch is killed, it takes the GVFS daemons with it. I've filed this bug for the dbus-launch issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577920 ** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131442 Title: gvfsd-trash process survives logout Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This report concerns gvfs-daemons 1.14.0-0ubuntu6 in Ubuntu Quantal. I log out from an Xfce desktop session, and the process table shows a gvfsd-process is still running. If I log in again, and log out again, two processes. Log in/out again, three processes.
