Mounted gvfs filesystems on my main workstation where the problem is much worse than on a clean install.

At this point it will start filling .xsession-errors with error messages.

Showing all filesystems seems to be required to trigger the bug on some systems - notably clean VM installs with not much mounted filesystems.
