Title:
  gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information

Status in The GNOME System Monitor:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. open gnome-system-monitor
  2. switch to the "file systems" tab
  3. in edit->preferences tick "show all filesystems" and set update interval to 1 second

  gnome-system-monitor will now spam dbus with volume information
  requests until dbus eventually refuses to honour any more. At this
  point it will start filling .xsession-errors with error messages. This
  behaviour also seems to cause gfvsd to use incredible amounts of
  memor.

  Showing all filesystems seems to be required to trigger the bug on
  some systems - notably clean VM installs with not much mounted
  filesystems. But when it's turned on the bug happens on lucid,
  maverick and natty clean/fully patched installs - although the leak
  happens very slowly in this case - about 1mb per minute.

  On my main workstation (which is maverick) it's a different story -
  with "optimal" g-s-m settings, gvfs can leak 1GB in 10 minutes.
