I have been running 9.0 all year and have seen this issue but haven't
gone as far as tracking down the cause of it hanging like that. I
wondered if it may have an issue with zfs - I run a pure zfs system.

While it will use 100% cpu and keep the disk busy I have tried letting
it run for a few hours and it doesn't stop.

It is gtk related - a lot of gtk/gnome apps trigger it when starting
even xfce starts it on login, others will trigger/re-trigger when the
open file dialog is used.

My biggest concern is not knowing where it comes from - it is not listed
in any packing list for installed ports. All the build logs from my
tinderbox setup have no mention of it.

Initially I setup a cron job to quit any instance of it every 2 minutes.

Renaming it prevents it being started up and doesn't appear to give any
critical errors, all I get is -

GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking IsSupported() failed for
