** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. open gnome-system-monitor
  2. switch to the "file systems" tab
+ 3. in edit->preferences tick "show all filesystems" and set update interval 
to 1 second
  
  gnome-system-monitor will now spam dbus with volume information requests
  until dbus eventually refuses to honour any more. At this point it will
  start filling .xsession-errors with error messages. This behaviour also
  seems to cause gfvsd to use incredible amounts of memory (approximately
  1GB per hour).
+ 
+ Showing all filesystems seems to be required to trigger the bug on some
+ systems - notably clean VM installs with not much mounted filesystems.
+ But when it's turned on the bug happens on lucid, maverick and natty
+ clean/fully patched installs.
