Here is a bog-simple patch I created for gvfs-0.2.4 that skips any root
directory with a filesystem type of "autofs".

To my mind this is just a workaround: the real answer is that the list
of filesystem types to skip should be configurable, I presume via an
entry in gconf.  However, that involves a LOT more work in code I'm not
familiar with and this fix is easy.  This has been working for me for
the day so far: no messages in the log file.

I really wanted to do this because I've been seeing a problem where,
every few days, my system gets sluggish, NFS mounts hang, FireFox
downloads hang, etc.  I don't know what's going on (nothing much in the
logs) but the one thing all these situations have in common is when I do
"ps" I see 25-30 instances of gvfsd-trash running instead of one.  The
only thing concerning in the logs are these .Trash references.  I have
no other proof that these things are related but I figured I'd fix this
one and we'll see if it helps.
