Ok, I solved my problem, but it was a bit weird...
Yes, that is correct I didn't have 'gvfs'. It was broken:
"""
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gvfs: Depends: libgdu0 (>= 2.29.90) but 2.28.0+git20091012-0ubuntu1 is to be
installed
Recommends: gvfs-backends but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
"""
So, I followed this to 'udisks' which depends on libparted0 (>=2.2-1). I
disabled all 3rd party repos and manually installed 'libparted0'. This
caused 'devicekit-disks' and 'libparted1.8-12' to be removed and I was
then able to install 'gvfs'. Now my fancy little applets work.
