Binary package hint: gvfs

gvfsd-trash process multiply in memory and cause Cairo Dock to inflate
its memory usage up to the maximum of available memory (3Gb) before
drastically slowing down the host since the swap goes crazy under the
load. Happens both using regular and OpenGL Cairo Dock versions.

Ubuntu 9.10 (x64) - kernel 2.6.31-22-generic - gvfs package
1.4.1-0ubuntu1 - GNOME 2.28.1 - Cairo Dock version 2.2.0-4

What I noticed: Cairo-dock icon could not report the dust bin to be
filled (ie it kept showing the empty bin icon). In fact, my dust bin
contained 8.9Gb of deleted files.

Killing the Cairo Dock process solved the bad host responsiveness.
Emptying the dust bin with Nautilus solved the rest of the bug.
Restarting Cairo-dock after that makes the whole system behave normally.

Noob conclusion: there's a bug in gvfs-trash causing it to panic when
the dust bin gets severly loaded.

Extra: this never occured before despite the fact I had a dust bin
containing even more than 8.9Gb. Problem *seems* to have raised with the
latest kernel update.

Hope this helps
