I have this problem, too. Mine crashes on startup. From what I gather from the gvfs bug report it is a pulseaudio problem involving thread requests on the soundcard, when other threads, especially java and flash try to access it gvfs-fuse-daemon becomes zombie and that locks java or firefox in zombie. When I kill, home folder locks out with a IO message. "Failed to open directory 'user' Error stating file '/home/user/.gvfs': Transport endpoint not connected." This is happening for many people going back to Hardy. A google search for "gvfs-fuse-daemon futex_wait" shows it is a widespread problem and someone aught to convene a group.
