Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu Hardy Heron, if a new user is created using the
System->Administration->Users and Groups dialogue, the gvfs-fuse folder
/home/newuser/.gvfs is created.
This folder cannot be accessed by any other user, including the root
user. This means the new user's folder cannot be deleted once the user
is deleted:
Listing folder as root user (for my normal user) outputs as below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ls -la /home/adpsimpson | grep gvfs
ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied
?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
Listing for 'mount' given below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount | grep gvfs
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/adpsimpson/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=adpsimpson)
Even after the user is deleted, the entry in 'mount' remains. This makes
it hard to completely delete a user from a system.
Although there are other bugs relating to gvfs in launchpad, none seem
to cover the inability to delete this folder when deleting a user from
the system.
