I can tell you anecdotally that I went from pkill-ing gvfsd-trash hourly
or worse, to not once since I applied the patch locally in October. But
even after all that, I'm not really sure what behavior of mine was
triggering the lockup so frequently.

Is an anecdotal user-report like that enough? (obviously using -proposed 
instead of my local deb repo) FWIW, when committing this change to gvfs, the 
gnome folks agreed with this comment by their bug's original poster 
"I think we should just merge this workaround, it's such an intermittent issue 
and we know exactly why it happens in glib, and it's low risk. We can't really 
test it any "better" than merging it and see if the issue ever happens again."


If you'd prefer more, I can rollback from my local deb repo and see if there's 
any way to passively detect/log the issue (i.e. rather than just noticing it 
incidentally when a file dialog doesn't appear quickly). I guess the goal there 
would just be to say the issue occurred X times in Y hours on 1.44.1-1ubuntu1, 
and zero times in Z hours on -proposed.

I should also note that while the original poster of this bug uses/used
Ubuntu Mate 20.04, my own daily driver is actually Mint...so you'd have
to judge whether I would be an acceptable tester for this
